Nowhere in the world does the human mind run up against cold hard statistics quite like games of chance.

Here are four pieces of advice to help prevent that:

Magic at the Toronto International Film Festival
Every year, the Toronto International Film Festival brings its own special brand of chaos to downtown. A large section of King Street outside of Roy Thomson Hall and the TIFF Bell LightBox is closed off for a massive street festival. There are lineups, red carpets, special promotions and sound stages everywhere you look. And on top of that, a little bit of magic courtesy of me and my partner in mystery, Chris Mayhew.
King Street - Downtown Toronto
For the past several years, I've been privileged to work for TIFF, providing magic outdoors for countless people. It's always an exciting weekend and this year, the weather could not have been better.
There were literally thousands out on the street excited to see premieres or to catch a glimpse of red carpet celebrities.
I also bumped into the host of Face 2 Face, David Peck, who was out for screenings an interviews. (And offering snarky real-time commentary on magic tricks!)

Thank to you to everyone who attended Magic & Martini last night at SpiritHouse in Downtown Toronto. It was certainly a busy weekend with the Toronto International Film Festival taking up large portions of King Street, but we still managed to squeeze in plenty of magic.
We're back to our regular performance schedule after taking it easy for the summer. We have some seats available for our upcoming shows in September. Readers can use the code olive for a special discounted price on tickets purchased online.
