Toronto: Talent call for “Cheap Tricks” part 3

Contact Chris for more information.

 

From the November 10th Facebook post by Chris Doyle:

Toronto area magicians. Who would like to be part of “Cheap Tricks” part 3

If you are not familiar, this is a live show where the “contestants” draw a style of magic (illusion, mentalism, in the style of copper field etc) a money envelope with $0-40 and a location in the vicinity of the venue to buy and create a 5 min show performed that evening on live stage. 

What would you do with $7 at the drug store in the style of horror mentalism

ICYMI: Canine Circus and The Sentimentalists on Canada's Got Talent [April 5, 2022]

From City TV:

Canine Circus is a group of entertainers and furry four-legged acts who perform stunts and grand illusions. Their aim is to create a magical, memorable family show blending their love of circus with their love of pets and magic. The group is made up of mainly professionals who have been in the entertainment industry for years and although they are a newly formed act, they’ve already put on a run of live, hour long ticketed shows. This act brings in dogs and trainers to reimagine what dog shows can be and how animals are treated. Aaron, the circus born-leader, brought this group together to form a community – they are all stray dogs in one way or another and have a shared connection and mission to bring joy and entertainment to others. Aaron wants to take the stage at CGT for the generations of performers that run in his family.


From the April 5th upload at the Canada's Got Talent YouTube channel:

 

 

 

From City TV:

Mentalist duo, The Sentimentalists, have been bringing 1930s vintage style to the art of mindreading since 2017. Mysterion the Mind Reader and Steffi Kay both started as solo acts and have found a way to maximize their abilities by combining their acts. They are equal partners and friends on and off stage. They have stunned audiences at the Magic Castle, Viva Las Vegas, Fool Us, and on tours throughout North America and Australia. They even fooled Penn & Teller! They’ve gained accolades like the Allan Slaight Award in Magic in 2020 and appeared on the Cover of Vanish Magic Magazine. Their act is unique and the way they connect has never been discovered. For their next trick, they’re returning to Canada to achieve recognition on home turf.

Toronto: Mysterion Store Visit & Cryptid Book Test

From the September 10th Facebook post by Jeff Pinsky:

(Limit of 5 people in Store at a time)

The Cryptids - $80 (SPECIAL PRICE!)

Mysterion has been telling us about this idea for some time, and it's finally happened! And he's got a special offer for you! Have you ever wanted to read minds? This book will give you that power. 

Combining several different book test methodologies into a compact prop, The Cryptids is a miracle just waiting to happen! Here's some of what you can do with it:
 

  • Have any long word remembered, and slowly reveal the word letter by letter! This is the Mother-of-All Book Tests concept.
     
  • Have a word peeked at and instantly know it (variation of the flashback principle)
     
  • Ability to force a word and have it appear on a freely selected page
     
  • Reveal that you knew which Cryptid from a list of 100 in the book you knew would be 'randomly' selected
     
  • With a map of locations for famous Cryptids, they can take a journey to these exotic places yet you always know where they've ended up!


You get all of these great magic methods and more! The book can actually be examined and read. Also, by using a larger font you don't have to worry about your spectator not being able to see the word they've chosen. And the subject of the book is one that appeals to all ages and performing venues. Mysterion will be demonstrating the book during his visit and answering any questions you might have. He's also offered us a GREAT DEAL! The book normally retails for $99 US, but he's offering it to you for only $80 Canadian! That's a significant saving!


We look forward to seeing you!

Mark Clearview and Mysterion in Toronto.com

From the May 26th article "What happens to Toronto magicians when COVID-19 takes the magic away?" by David Nickle in Toronto.com:

Clearview’s act is one that comes alive in person — a combination of standup comedy and sleight-of-hand work. He’s dipping his toe into YouTube with two channels — one called Noodle Boys, where he performs with his roommate, and another eponymous channel for his magic: Mark Clearview.

So, too, is Mysterion, in spite of his trepidation, moving to online video to showcase his talents and keep his creative juices flowing. He has been drawing on his network, including his wrestling contacts, fellow magicians and other celebrities, to take part remotely in a series of videos he and his girlfriend have put up on Facebook: Dr. M’s Mad Mausoleum.
