Last week on Magic Tonight

We were treated to a performance from the Barefoot Prophet, Paul Pacific. It's getting colder and on this occasion, we saw Paul perform fully shoed - a rare occurrence indeed! It will come as no surprise to anyone that I was wearing shoes while I performed but no one seemed unduly concerned. If you want to come to one of our upcoming shows, tickets are available online. Readers of this blog can use the code secrets for an additional discount on checkout. Check to see who's performing next at www.magictonight.ca and try and join us for our special CFI Fundraiser on December 21.

James Alan Mo Mondays

Next Monday, December 15, I'll be appearing at momondays where a group of people put story-telling into a blender. Add a dash of personal growth & transformation, and drop in a load of laughs. Mix in real, live music, and great conversation with some of the nicest people on the planet, then push the ‘high’ setting… and out comes momondays! It's like a variety show bouncing off the walls of personal story-telling! I'll be performing and encouraging people to look at the world in strange and unusual ways.

We're at the Hard Rock Cafe at Dundas Square. Advance tickets are $10.00 online (or $20 at the door). Buy Tickets Online

Also appearing are Ahmed Duranai, Anya Romanova, Carmelia Ray, Brian Campkin and Richard Zinck.

Watch the video for a special discount code to save on the cost of the show and dinner.

She mentions "duct tape" at the beginning. This is what she's talking about:
