Magic at the Ontario Science Centre

Knowing I'm a nerd at heart, I was asked to do a couple of short shows at the Ontario Science Centre over the Christmas Season. They have a beautiful Imperial Oil Auditorium which works really well for magic. I was being hosted by the boys at Spellbinding Science who teach magic programs at school under the guise of science.

This week on Magic Tonight

The magic never stops! It's a huge amount of fun, although I suspect I'm going to need a vacation soon. But coming up we have an amazing week, and not very many tickets left. Thursday night's performance at The Franklin House in Streetsville is already sold out! We have Nicholas Wallace (who was once described by me as appearing sweet and innocent to disguise the fact that he is the devil; pure evil wrapped in Mr. Rogers' sweater) and Jason Palter (winner of the Canadian Event Industry's "Entertainer of the Year" award).

Friday night at The Bear in Pickering, we have Mystery Entertainer Lukas Stark. We still have a few spaces left.

Sunday night in Toronto at the Crimson Lounge, we have the legendary Matt DiSero. Matt has been a popular contributor to Seventeen Secrets Volumes 1 and 2 and a controversial contributor to Ninety Nine Fabrications. He has performed around the world and has a kick-ass collection of shoes. This performance is nearly sold out as well.

#ThatDress

Just to be clear, for those who were asking on last night's show, this is blue duct tape, a black blindfold, a white suit and a gold shirt.

For those of you who have no idea what this is about, consider yourselves lucky.

Last week on Magic Tonight

We are continuing to have loads of fun on Magic Tonight at The Franklin House, The Bear and The Crimson Lounge. This week featured performances by illusionist Ken Margoe, comedy magician Chris Westfall and the ridiculously tall Brian Roberts. Take a look at what we've been up to:

Introducing Sketchy Magic

Coming in April to the Crimson Lounge (our traditional home for Magic Tonight) we're presenting a new kind of magic show. This is Sketchy Magic:

Created by Chris Westfall & Chris Mayhew, both incredibly funny performers in their own right, this new show blends magic with both improv and sketch comedy to create a unique live experience. It's incredibly exciting because you never know what will happen next. (And as someone who has worked with both of these guys before, trust me, anything can happen.) And it's unique because the participation from the audience makes it so that every show is a one-night-only event. Tomorrow things could turn out very differently.

Sketchy Magic is a full evening out with dinner and a hilarious show. Join us in Downtown Toronto for an unforgettable experience. Tickets are available at the Abracadabaret website (www.abracadabaret.com/purchase-tickets). Readers of this blog can use the code reality for a special discount on the price of tickets and dinner.

The show is entirely family friendly... almost... sort of... well... children may learn some new words in this show.

This week on Magic Tonight

This is a week of contrasts on Magic Tonight - a variety of styles... and heights! Of course, I'm referring to Canada's Tallest Magician, Brian Roberts performing on Sunday in Toronto, and Toronto's shortest magician Chris Westfall performing Friday in Pickering. Ken Margoe (Thursday - Mississauga) and I are also kind of tall, but don't even enter into this comparison. Come join us for some incredible (and vertical) magic this weekend.
