This week on Magic Tonight

On this week's show at the Crimson Lounge downtown, I'll be joined by comedy magician extraordinaire, Chris Westfall. Chris appeared for a month here with his partner in absurdity Chris Mayhew performing Sketchy Magic and he's about to embark on a Canada-wide tour of his family show, Chris Westfall and the Porcelain Princess. Chris is always funny and always zany and we're delighted to unleash him for you this Sunday. Tickets are available for our September dates at www.MagicTonight.ca/tickets. We have spots for Toronto and a very limited number for the Franklin House in Mississauga. Readers of this blog can use the code reality for a discount on the price of tickets and dinner when purchasing online.

Last week on Magic Tonight

Last night's show at the Crimson Lounge in Toronto was creepier than usual. Mysterion was in strange form (and of course, I mean that in a good way.) He was corrupting the youth, contacting the dead and just generally weirding people out. I'm not sure if that child actually went home and did his satanic colouring, but we can be on the lookout for dark clouds and bad omens today. We're gearing up for the fall season. Currently all of our shows in Missisauga for September are sold out but we have shows in Toronto with seats available.

This Sunday on Magic Tonight

Our special guest this weekend on Magic Tonight in Toronto is the inimitably creepy Mysterion. A psychedelically coiffed psychic who will mess with your mind and make you question your most deeply held fashion choices. Mysterion has been on this show, and it's progenitors, more times than I care to count. He is always entertaining, always delightful and unavoidably strange. Tickets for the show are available on our site.

Last week on Magic Tonight

It was a show that came from both ends of the spectrum on Sunday night at the Crimson Lounge: Jason Verners is probably the youngest performer we've ever had on the show and Ron Guttman has been reading minds since before either of us were born. We had lots of fun and we need to thank our sold out crowd... in particular the two ladies who took a special interest in the contents of my pockets and weren't afraid to show it.... We're continuing on with tickets available for our shows through the end of September. See who's performing on our site in the coming weeks.

Magic Tonight Update

While this weekend's show is already sold out and this post potentially serves no purpose except to aggravate those people who don't have tickets, we're pleased to announce an additional special guest, Jason Verners. Jason is visiting from British Columbia and asked if he could be on the show. And as anyone who knows me, I have a great deal of difficulty saying no to anyone wearing a crushed velvet jacket. The reason he's in town is because every year in a slightly secret location not too far from Toronto, young magicians gather at Sorcerer's Safari, where they are able to stay isolated from society where it is less likely an unsuspecting bystander will become lost and wander to close and be asked to select a playing card.

Magic Tonight continues into the fall at the Crimson Lounge in Toronto. Readers of this blog can use the code reality for a discount on the price of tickets and dinner when purchasing online.
