Peterborough: Parlour of Mind and Magic -- An Evening of the Impossible [Feb 7]

Tickets at Eventbrite

 

From the Evenbrite listing for Parlour of Mind and Magic -- An Evening of the Impossible:

Step into an intimate world where the boundary between physical skill and psychological subversion vanishes. Parlour of Mind and Magic brings together two world-class masters of their craft for a rare, up-close demonstration of the impossible. In this room, you aren’t just a member of the audience—you are a vital part of the mystery.

Philip Howard Pivnick (Comedy Magician): Toronto’s favorite sleight-of-hand artist proves the hand is quicker than the eye—while making sure you’re laughing too hard to notice the impossible happening right under your nose.

Ian Crawford (Mentalist): A specialist in the unspoken and the un-thought. Not sleight of hand—this is sleight of mind. Prepare to witness demonstrations of influence and intuition that defy logical explanation.
