magic is about honesty
everything here is true
except for the bits I made up
Coming up on Thursday, November 22, I’ll be performing at a special fundraiser for the Oakville Trafalgar High School Robotics Club. We will be in the Lion’s Den inside The King’s Arms in Oakville. Tickets are $75, which include a charitable tax receipt for $50.
For tickets please contact Kimberly Swinoga.
Magic & Martini is sold out for 2018! Thank you to everyone who has come to indulge their love of live magic in Toronto. We’re thrilled beyond words by your support.
We’ve opened up a couple of dates already for 2019 and look forward to sharing more magic, fun and mischief with you in the new year!

PS - If you’re looking for magic for your holiday entertainment, we do still have a number of dates available. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
This year, magic has seen a wonderful resurgence in the public consciousness. One of the places this is most apparent on the Tonight Show, now hosted by SNL alum Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy is nearly the perfect subject for performing magic to. You can always tell exactly what he’s thinking and you know immediately when he’s genuinely surprised by something. He’s had three superb magicians featured on his show in the past month:
Dan is based in New York, with his own show The Magician at the NoMad.
is the winner of the latest season of America’s Got Talent. (Although he does happen to be Canadian… confusing!) He is also internationally recognized in the industry as a winner at FISM (essentially the magic Olympics.)
An irritatingly photogenic sleight of hand artist from Ohio, now living in New York. Josh holds a special place in my heart as the first original magic trick I ever had published in a professional journal was in his column, "Talk About Tricks” which he edited for MAGIC Magazine for a dozen years. Josh has a show in New York called Six Impossible Things which is sold out months in advance.
The end of the year is and we'd like to help you celebrate the magic of the holidays with some magic for grownups! If you're planning a party for your workplace, your friends or family, let's make your event truly unforgettable this year.
There are a few options to choose from. Find something perfect for you:
Bring the wonder and astonishment with a full magic show after dinner. Fun, exciting, funny and extremely interactive.
(Audiences of up to 500 guests, 30-75 minutes, additional staging requirements for audiences over 100 guests.)
Break the ice with mingling close-up magic to kick the night off with energy and excitement. Perfect when you want to keep your night simple with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and not have a big production.
(Any size audience, flexible length)
A complete evening of magic: Enjoy apps and shreables and finely crafted cocktails. Get a mixology lesson from the cocktails wizards at Suite 114 (Toronto) or Grand Spirits (Orangeville). Plus a full evening of magic!
(Limited to 40 guests)
Use your imagination, pick your own format and we will craft something special specifically for your event.
Dates at the end of the year are always in high demand and go quickly so availability may be limited. Don't miss out and contact us today for rates and availability.
Toronto’s lighthearted, warm fun and friendly magic open-mic night returned form its summer break last night at the newly moved and renovated See-Scape. You can see the new, expanded stage in some of the lovely photos from David Fulde.
I was invited to appear on the first show of the season with Chris Mayhew, Harry Zimmerman, Graeme “Graemazing” Reed and the lovely and charming host Jonah Babins.
The show continues weekly through to December and is a wonderful (free) opportunity to see magicians experiment, take risks and walk outside their comfort zones.
