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.
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).

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.

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.

It's been an incredible month on the show. We've had some amazing talent and such amazing support from our audiences. Scroll back through the blog to see some of the photos and see some of the amazing talent we've been lucky enough to feature.
