Last week on Magic Tonight

We had a wonderful time on Magic Tonight last week. We lost a day (Sunday - we were at a sold out gathering of 250 magicians locked in a banquet hall for 12 hours... and you though our show was odd!) but we made up for it with extra special guests. In addition to the regularly scheduled Ben Train and Phil Pivnick, we had a special guest joining us from San Francisco, Michael Feldman. Michael is a regular performer at the Magic Castle in Hollywood and just generally a deviously clever and charming fellow. He did an outstanding job — even better when you consider that he had just spent 10 hours in planes before exiting the airport, hopping in a car and heading to our show.

See what we got up to. And if you haven't had a chance to see the show recently, come check us out!

The New Trailer for Magic Tonight

Thanks to the dedicated hard work of the Abracadabaret resident video elf, Chris Mayhew (I should probably ask him how he feels about being called that) we have a swell new trailer for the show:

Sketchy Magic: Opening Night

Thanks to everyone who came out to the opening night for Sketchy Magic. We had a packed house and a wonderful audience. I was behind a curtain helping with some of the secret goings on for most of the show, but from what I heard, the crowd was delighted. There are three more chances this month to experience this wacky and unpredictable extravaganza at the Crimson Lounge (Inside The Cage 292, 292 College @ Spadina)

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.

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.
