Mono and Toronto: Toronto Magic Comapny presents ... [Sep 1, 10, 23, and 29]

Don't miss your chance to see Ben Train, Jonah Babins, Chris Westfall, Sawyer Bullock, James Alan, and Steven Jones in action this month!  (Performers vary by date and location.)

 

From the August 29th Instagram post by the Toronto Magic Company:

FOUR AMAZING EVENTS THIS MONTH!
(Tickets in bio!)

“The Magic of Illusion” at Hockley Valley Resort on Friday September 1st. Filled with laughs and impossible magic, this show is perfect for the whole family!

Tickets are running out fast though, so if you’re hoping to score some seats click the link in our bio RIGHT NOW!

Next up is “Hocus Jokus” on Sunday September 10th at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club. Is this Toronto’s funniest comedy magic show or Toronto’s most mind-blowing comedy show? You decide! Featuring three magicians, including headliner Chris Westfall!

Then on Saturday September 23rd we have the return of “The Art of Magic” at the Super Wonder Gallery. The night begins with drinks and a tour through the gallery, where you’ll see magic-themed works of art and meet our mingling performers. These roaming wizards will give you the chance to experience magic up close, with tricks happening in front of your eyes and even in your own hands!

Then, take your seat in the secret theatre for the show: a mixture of award-winning sleight of hand and world-class mind reading.

If you love magic, art, or just a great night out: this event is for you.

Finally we have “Ben and Jonah’s Magic Road Trip” at Joker’s Theatre and Comedy Club on Friday September 29th. After touring the show across Canada (including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, a dozen other cities) Ben and Jonah are back with their incredible two-man show. If you’re a fan of magic, you won’t want to miss it. And if you’re not a fan of magic… come and they’ll change your mind.

Bullock, Mayhew, and Eng in the CBC!

From the January 23rd article "Escape the headlines, find the magic: Why we need the oldest tricks in the book more than ever" by Conor Sweetman in the CBC:
In the 1900s, the silver screen provided some distraction from the news of the World Wars, but it also served as a conduit for propaganda. These days, we similarly struggle to find escapism that isn't tinged with politics. Only now, partisan tension seems to follow us everywhere, beyond the movie theatre and into comedy clubs, sports arenas and  every content-producing corner of the internet.

It's hard to hide from it — all of our open tabs beckon us to dip one more time into what will inevitably put a damper on the day. But what if there were a way to momentarily hush the noise and avoid getting swept away by the deluge of headlines? What if, just for an evening, instead of going into a tailspin of reading, arguing and frantically fact-checking...you allowed yourself to be fooled?

Toronto: The Newest Trick In The Book - May 1

From James Alan's newslettter:
Tuesday night (May 1st) I'll be appearing on a special free show in downtown Toronto. The Newest Trick In The Book is put on by The Toronto Magic Company and hosted by the adorably charming Jonah Babins.

This is a magic show not quite like any other. The rule is that performers have to showcase brand new material. Which means either the opportunity to see something special for the first time ever... or the opportunity to see something crash and burn horrendously. Either way, special! I'm actually cheating. I'll be presenting very old magic which hasn't been seen in nearly 100 years.

See Scape
2840 Dundas Street West, Toronto
Tuesday, May 1, 2018

I'll be appearing alongside Chris Mayhew, Sawyer Bullock and Daniel Lawson. This is an absolutely free event to attend. Although it can get quite full and you can reserve a free ticket by going to the Toronto Magic Company website.

Plus... See Scape is a board game and video game bar, so once the show is over, you can stick around to play.
Reserve your tickets at Eventbrite.

Collingwood: The Young Faust by Sawyer Bullock

From Simcoe:
Local magician Sawyer Bullock will present a new show Aug. 8-9 at Collingwood’s New Life Brethren in Christ Church.

The 19-year-old Wasaga Beach resident, who lived in Stayner growing up, said the show is called Sawyer Bullock Presents The Young Faust.

“It’s an evening of magic, comedy and mentalism,” Bullock said.

He started writing the show about a year ago but said it only started to really come together in the last couple months.

You may remember Sawyer was the recipient of the 2012 Tony Eng Youth Fund bursary.

Well done Sawyer!

Tony Eng Youth Fund bursary winner and IMX competitor

From Sharing Wonder:
Sawyer reached out to us through the Tony Eng Youth Fund. At 16, his passion for magic appears to have no bounds and magic has enriched his life for the last four years. We provided Sawyer, a community-driven young man teeming with leadership qualities, a bursary to help him attend the Canadian Association of Magicians (CAM) 2012 convention. In his application, Sawyer expressed a heartfelt desire to meet Vancouver-based magician and President of CAM, Shawn Farquhar. We were pleased to provide  Sawyer with the grant to achieve this goal and to also compete in the magic competitions at CAM.
