Luc Langevin in le Journal de Montréal

From the March 10th article "La magie m’a apporté tout ce qu’il y a de bon dans ma vie" by Bruno Lapointe in le Journal de Montréal, as translated by Google:

"It's very long to create illusions, test them, tweak them ... I put two years, one full-time. And all this time, I told myself that I must absolutely deliver the material. I do not have a choice, "he reveals.

To achieve this, the illusionist has sought the help of director René Richard Cyr, to enhance the visual coating of the tour. His first and only choice for this role. But he had to work hard to convince the man of theater to join this project, something that was far from being won in advance.

Montreal: Paul Vigil workshop, lecture and show

From Montreal Magic Jam:
LECTURE: Sunday March 4th at The Comedy Nest
SHOW: Tuesday March 6th at Theatre Mainline

UPDATE: Paul Vigil is also doing a workshop the evening of Saturday March 3rd.

Paul Vigil is one of the magic’s most accomplished performers. Since becoming a magician at the age of 5, Paul has gone on to become an award winning lecturer, a regular performer at The Magic Castle in LA, and the star of his own show in Las Vegas. Paul has performed all over the world and has also made numerous appearances on television, including most recently Penn and Teller’s “Fool Us!”

Paul Vigil is the author of numerous manuscripts, including his latest book “The Doors of Deception.” His first book “Classic Fantastic” has long sold out, and his new tome contains not just well-thought-out routines from his repertoire but shows how he constructs an act. It may very well sell out before he makes his way to Montreal, but he will share many of the lessons from this book with you on Sunday March 4th.

Paul Vigil’s full evening show “Magic, Mind Reading, and Mystery” is one of the most sought after, and highly reviewed shows in all of Las Vegas. He performed it in Toronto in December to a sell-out crowd and we’re happy to bring it here to Montreal for a one-night-only performance on Tuesday March 6th. The Mainline’s raked seating will ensure everybody will get the best view of the performance.

« Mon premier spectacle m’avait permis de partager avec le public mon passé; comment j’étais devenu l’illusionniste que je suis. Avec ce deuxième spectacle, on se retrouve MAINTENANT et on regarde vers DEMAIN. Après le succès que j’ai connu ces dernières années, je me suis demandé "Qu’est-ce qu’on fait lorsqu’on a réalisé son rêve d’enfance et qu’on a encore la vie devant soi ? Maintenant qu’on a tout ce qu’on a toujours désiré, qu’est-ce qu’on fait demain ? »  Dans le spectacle Maintenant Demain, à travers de nouvelles illusions qui mystifient, font rires et émerveillent plus que jamais, j’ai décidé de raconter ma réponse au public ".

Montreal: Caleb Wiles

From Montreal Magic Jam:
Tuesday Feb 6th

The Knockout Magic of Caleb Wiles

Get ready to step into the ring with one of magic’s heavy hitters. Caleb’s new lecture is full of incredible close-up routines designed for the real world. You won’t find any pipe dreams here. Every effect has been highly acclaimed by the most important critics in magic… real live audiences!

Caleb’s original tricks are performed by magicians all over the world, including on international television specials. In fact, he was a featured performer on the popular network show Penn & Teller’s Fool Us.

What you’ll learn…

– A brand-new, never-before-taught staple of Caleb’s close-up show. Jack Carpenter calls this routine “a masterpiece!”

– A self-working miracle that DESTROYS magicians! So powerful, it was used on an international television special!

– A practical, birthday-themed card effect for the working pro.

– Every detail of the blockbuster, self-working trick Caleb performed on Penn & Teller’s Fool Us!

– New plots, new presentations, and new principles.

This lecture is jam-packed with more than a dozen effects. Plus, stick around after the lecture to session into the night. It’s going to be a magic super party!

What others are saying…

“You are so [expletive] good!”
– Penn Jillette

“Caleb Wiles is the real deal. His methods are devious, his presentations are clever and fun, and he’s got loads of natural ability.”
– David Williamson

“I unreservedly urge any group out there to book him. You will be very happy.”
– Steve Bryant

“Caleb Wiles is a clever, logical creator of magic effects. His approach is fresh yet practical. I’m a huge fan!”
– Joshua Jay

“Caleb Wiles is a new star on the magic horizon!”
– Paul Lelekis (Linking Ring Magazine)
