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.

Montreal: Ryan Murray lecture [Jul 10]

From The Montreal Magic Jam:

Monday July 10

Ryan Murray is one of Toronto’s underground magicians specializing in sleight-of-hand with cards. In 2016 he was awarded the Len Cooper Memorial award from the Browser’s Den of Magic for his excellence and dedication towards magic.

He has currently published two books on card magic; Curious Weaving (2018) which expands on the faro shuffle and takes weave shuffles to a whole new level of possibilities, and Natural Card Magic (2021) in which he explores an obscure underground principle that he often uses to fool magicians very very badly. These books have established Ryan as being highly detail oriented when it comes to learning difficult sleight-of-hand.

In this lecture, Ryan will cover some of his own card techniques and routines including some that were previously unpublished. He will also cover his thoughts on his false shuffles and cuts, as well as various faro and weave shuffle techniques. Aside from card magic, he will also finally tip his signature Rubik’s Cube routine that he's been wowing audiences with for many years.

Toronto: Louie Lebetjis lecture [Jun 24]

From The Browser's Den of Magic:

Saturday June 24th

This is going to be a cool lecture! Second Deals! Bottom Deals! Centre Deals! Greek Deals! Plus work on: FALSE SHUFFLES, FALSE CUTS, PALMING & MORE! Much More!

Louie gave a magic lecture at our shop with a gambling theme a few years ago and it was excellent. One of the highlights was the clarity with which Louie explained the material. He is a good teacher.

Louie has been studying card magic for decades. However, gambling sleights have always held a particular fascination for him ever since his grandfather first showed him how to false shuffle a deck of cards.
                                                  
It was his grandfather who gave him a copy of Expert at the Card Table. Of course he is a serious student of all the gambling greats such as Ed Marlo, Richard Turner and Steve Forte.
 
His passion for practicing gambling moves hasn't stopped and he continues to explore and try to find new and novel ways to manipulate cards.
 
So we hope that you will come and join us to watch and learn some of the inner work from this fine Cardician.
