This week on Magic Tonight

If you're coming to see Magic Tonight this week, I have two wonderful special guests. On Thursday at the Franklin House in Mississauga - we have Canada's Barefoot Prophet. Paul Pacific wears no shoes, loves Madonna and knows what you're thinking! There are just two shows left in Mississauga before we break for the summer so sneak in a show while you can!

On Sunday at the Crimson Lounge in Toronto, we have Toronto's Best Magician* Phil Pivnick.

Last week on the show featured special guests Jason Palter and Ron Guttman. If you haven't been to the show in a while, take a look at what we've been up to. There are just two shows left in Mississauga before we break for the summer.

Jerry Coyne wuz here

Last night at the OISE auditorium downtown, Jerry Coyne, the distinguished professor of evolutionary biology from the University of Chicago, gave a talk on his latest book, Faith Vs. Fact: Why Religion and Science are Incompatible. And there are purdy pictures:

I finished the book the night before the talk and must say I enjoyed it very much. While parts of it (at least to my liberal Canadian eyes) have a distinct "well duh" aspect to them, it was still wonderful to read such a complete across-the-board support of reason and science when many thinkers seem to feel the need to hedge, waffle and pay lip service to "other ways of finding truth".

My only regret is that I didn't get my copy of the book signed. But that's probably for the best since I've been trying to cut down on the number of physical books I buy and if I got Professor Coyne to sign the screen of my iPad, it would make checking email that much more difficult.

This week on Magic Tonight

Thursday at the Franklin House in Mississauga - the hilarious and zany Jason Palter - winner of the Canadian Event Industry's "Entertainer of the Year" Award.

There are only three shows left in Mississauga so if you want to see the show without contending with Toronto Traffic, grab your tickets now.

Sunday at the Crimson Lounge in Toronto - mentalist (and apparently gum-ball addict) Ron Guttman.
