Earlier this month, we posted about Parlour Magic, a new monthly magic show. We reached out to the producer to learn more about the Parolour Magic experience. This is his reply.
Toronto: Parlour Magic at Tranzac — Six-Show Season Announced [Sep 10,
2026 – Feb 4, 2027]
Oracle Productions has announced a new monthly close-up magic
series launching this fall at the Tranzac Club in Toronto.
Parlour Magic at Tranzac
runs every second Thursday from September 2026 through February 2027 — six
evenings of professional close-up magic, mentalism, and illusion performed in
the Living Room of the Tranzac Club at 292 Brunswick Ave. The room seats fewer
than 100 people. There is no stage. The performers work at arm's length.
The
series is produced by Ian Crawford (Oracle Productions), who also hosts and
