Last night on Sketchy Magic

The final show of Sketchy Magic at the Crimson Lounge was last night. It was a completely sold out run or four shows. This show featured a trio of sketchy live artists preparing unique works of art before the show. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this new show. It will be back later this year with more amazing and hilarious magic. In the mean time, take a peek at what we got up to.

Magicians Making Faces

Magicians caught before the unblinking eye of the camera. Enjoy these amusing and spontaneous images of Jason Palter, Glenn Ottaway, Greydon Gilmore and the irritatingly photogenic Keith Brown.  Feel free to leave any amusing caption suggestions in the comments section. Bonus points if you can spot the ones which are fake; taken after the shows.

Greg Frewin Interview

Greg Frewin — international magic champion and the holder of the dubious distinction of being the only person to ever successfully get me drunk — was interviewed by Anthony Lindan for the Secrets of Success Project. It's a compilation of motivating success stories, primarily from Southern Ontario. You can listen to all the interviews (scroll down to find Greg) and if you get some value, consider making a donation to support Autism Niagara.

Last week on Magic Tonight

See what we were up to last week. We had fun with some rather strange adventures. When I left my home on Thursday, there was no rain in the forecast. By the time I was on the 401 en route to Mississauga, it was raining on me. And two tricks into the show at The Franklin House, the electricity magically disappeared and we did the rest of the show by imitation candlelight. Mysterion, who is the quintessentially creepy performer, was perfectly at home in these conditions.

The other two shows with Ben Train were (surprisingly) less eventful.

Adam Pal's PalmCast

I did a very fun short interview with Adam Pal and his Live From My Bedroom palmcast (apparently you can't call it a podcast because he has religious objections to all things Apple.) 

We had fun. I was interviewed by children. We talked about the evolution of Magic Tonight and my start in magic. We're actually in the back of The Cage 292 where we host the show in Toronto. Have fun listening if you've got a few minutes to spare.
