Toronto: 52 Secrets [Apr 30 debut]

Toronto's getting a "Don't Tell Comedy" type of magic show.  Not only do you not know WHERE or WHO you're booking a ticket for, you have to APPLY for consideration for a ticket and the PERFORMER WILL BE MASKED. 

While we don't know who the performer is, we've been told that the initial ticket price, if your application is accepted, is $20 dollars.  The price is set to increase in the Fall.

 

 

From 52-secrets.com:

Hidden somewhere within Toronto, an undisclosed venue will transform - if only for a fleeting moment - into the setting for an experience unlike anything publicly offered. This is not an event you stumble into. It is one you are selected for.

Attendance is by application only. 

...

On the night itself, a masked performer will take the stage, blurring the line between anonymity and intimacy, spectacle and secrecy. 

Each performance is strictly limited to just 52 seats.
