Performances

This week on Magic Tonight

It's a light week for the show. We're off on Sunday, since more or less every magician in the Greater Toronto Area will be at a secret gathering of magicians. To make up for it, we have a special guest joining us at The Bear on Friday. In addition to the regularly scheduled Phil Pivnick, we have Michael Feldman joining us all the way from San Diego. Michael is a brilliant sleight of hand performer and has the perfect dry wit for the British-styled Bear in Pickering. It's a sold out show, so we're looking forward to seeing everyone with ticket.

On Thursday, fresh off the birthday rush of turning 30, the ever delightful and charming Ben Train.

And if you're looking for something to do on Sunday while we're off, Jason Palter is performing at Yuk-Yuk's in Ajax (details available here).

This week on Magic Tonight

We're back with more Magic Tonight at the Franklin House (Thursday), The Bear (Friday) and The Crimson Lounge (Sunday). I'm thrilled to welcome back Mysterion, who used to be on these shows all the time but has been extremely busy for the past several years and we've missed him. He's a truly strange and unique performer, just as comfortable on stage as he is surrounded by burlesque dancers, masked wrestlers, shrunken human heads and taxidermy animals.

And the quintessential adorable Ben Train.

Looking Ahead

I'm not usually this organized with the show — and scheduling performers is sort of like herding fruit flies — but I'm happy to announce the full schedule for Magic Tonight next month. It's an incredibly talented lineup. (And I'll be there too.) You can buy tickets to the show online (www.abracadabaret.com/purchase-tickets). Thursday nights are at The Franklin House in Streestville/Mississauga. Friday nights at The Bear in Pickering. At The Crimson Lounge in Toronto on Sundays.

Check out Sketchy Magic

Sketchy Magic has just released a video for their show coming to Toronto next month. The show is the brainchild of Chris Westfall and Chris Mayhew - both exceptional comedic performers in their own right.

Something Strange

I've been going through some of the performance footage we have from the show and thought I'd share something. This is one of the stranger pieces from my show that I don't do very often.

In keeping with the ethos I developed performing Lies, Damn Lies & Magic Tricks, every word I say is true, but yet somehow I've left out important parts of the story so that the overall impression is slightly misleading. But it's a magic show, so you shouldn't expect too much in the way of honesty.
