Toronto: Erik Tait lecture [Oct 5]

From the September 29th Instagram post by the Hat and Rabbit Club:

Our Next Club Event is around the corner! FISM Winner Erik Tait!



When: Thursday October 5th/ Doors open 7PM - Lecture starts at 7:30PM
Where: Agricola Lutheran Church - 25 Old York Mills Road
Admission: FREE for members and $20 for non-members


Erik Tait is an international champion of comedy and magic who has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us!, NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and been featured in The New York Times. His blend of dry surreal comedy and cutting-edge sleight of hand has earned him awards from The International Brotherhood of Magicians and FISM, the World Championships of Magic.

When he is not performing at the premier magic venues in North America or appearing as On-Camera talent for the world's largest magic retailer, Penguin Magic, he saddles up a glass chariot pulled by a pair of hot sauce-powered chihuahuas to defend this realm from that of the undead. Experts agree he is the only thing standing between this world and the forces of chaos.


In his lecture, Tait shares with you some of the secrets that he used to become the first American in 20 years to win a prize in Card Magic at FISM. You'll become privy to his philosophies and methods of false shuffles that will level up your magic. He will also be teaching a variety of tricks that range from almost self-working to disastrously difficult. Whether you are brand new to magic or a seasoned veteran, there is something for everyone in this action-packed lecture.

Discourse in Magic roundup

Jonah Babins has also been busy.  Have a look and a listen to some of his wonderful recent podcasts!  (And if Jonah tricked you with an April Fools' podcast a number of years ago, have a look at the second last episode on this list.  That's your reward!)
