Last week on Magic Tonight

Last night on the show, my very special guest (and when you see the photos, you'll agree, I mean special) was Jason Palter. We had a wonderful time and as we get deeper into the holiday season we're starting to get full. So if you're coming down to see Magic Tonight, be sure to make your reservations early before we fill up.

Magic Tonight continues Sunday nights at the Crimson Lounge (Inside The Cage 292) in Downtown Toronto. Readers of this blog can use the code reality for a discount on the price of tickets and dinner when purchasing online.

Last week on Magic Tonight

It was a sold out show — which are oddly quite stressful, because there's barely any room to move around tables and we're sometimes in the unpleasant position of having to turn people away. I was joined by Michael "Merlin" Ross who has been performing since before I was born. He appeared when I was younger on Sesame Street and Mr. Dressup. He's been working primarily on the west cost for the past several years so we were able to have him on while he was visiting family here in Ontario.

Take a small peek at what you missed:

The 2015 Len Cooper Memorial Award

Every year the Browser's Den of Magic in Toronto gives out an award commemorating the shop's founder, Len Cooper. The award is given to a promising young magician and includes a complete set of the Tarbell Course in Magic. This eight-volume set is one of the most expansive magic references sources in English. I've won the award, as have a number of my friends in magic in the city. This year's award was presented at the shop's 40th Anniversary Party to Abdurrahman Ahmed who is also the Director of Covert Mischief on Magic Tonight. So to not only congratulate him on receiving the award but also to encourage him to lock himself indoors and study his treasure trove of magic reference materials, here is a collection of photos, some of which will make him embarrassed to show his face in public.

Last night on Magic Tonight

We're continuing to work our wonders every Sunday night at the Crimson Lounge. My special guest, Phil Pivnick, winner of the "Toronto's Best Magician" Contest (held every year in Markham because magicians are weird), was in fine form with some comedy magic and classical sleight of hand. Take a look at some of the fun we got up to. Magic Tonight continues every Sunday night in Downtown Toronto.

The Rocky Horror The Morning After

Last night, a group of comics, magicians and variety entertainers came together to support and pay tribute to Glenn Ottaway. Performers who donated their time included Mike Carbone, Jeff & Tessa Evason, Richard Forget, Glen Foster, Mini Holmes, David Peck and Brian Roberts. The evening was hosted by Mike Bullard and organized by Sir Matt of DiSero. You can check out Glenda Forham's review of the event. This is how it all ended:

She also managed to snag a few goofy photos of me:
