Getting a bit caught up. Here are some photos from The Newest Trick In The Book courtesy of David Fulde. This was their Pride week show, which explains the rainbows. Also on this show were Nicholas Wallace, John Roldan (assisted by Danny Proctor in the mask) and Ben Train, hosted by Jonah Babins

The Newest Trick In The Book is a free weekly magic open mic hosted by the lovely and charming Jonah Babins and put on by The Toronto Magic Company. It’s continuing into the fall with new performers every week and you can reserve tickets to upcoming performance. I’ll be on the week of September 10.

Magic at the Marienbad

I will be appearing in London, Ontario, at the Marienbad. This is a monthly performance series that blends magic and comedy with dinner and drinks. I’ll be appearing alongside Corbin the Charming Cheat and the legendary Canadian comedy performer Glenn Ottaway. (Glenn appeared on my show Magic Tonight several times and despite officially being “retired” he is always a joy and a delight to watch perform!)

Cocktail hour begins with some mingling close-up magic (along with a cash bar which features over 80 varieties of beer) followed by the show at 7:00. Advance tickets are $17, or $20 at the door.

Newest Trick In The Book - Grumpy Old Men Edition

This week, I will be guest hosting The Newest Trick In The Book. This weekly magic open-mic, put on by the Toronto Magic Company, is now in its third season. I’ll be joined by some friends: Mike Carbone, Dr. Sammy Jakobowicz, Glenn Ottaway and Wes Zaharuk. This is going to be a fun evening of magic, comedy and the unexpected. The goal of the show is to provide a safe place for magicians to experiment with new material. It can be a rare opportunity to see something which has never been seen before, or a chance to see everything go horribly wrong.

Newest Trick is free to attend, but you can reserve tickets online to guarantee yourself a seat.
