The Evasons' $100,000 pledge
From the June 27th Instagram post by The Evasons:
Our $100,000 Pledge started out as $10,000, then became $25,000, and later $50,000. Who knows how much it might be in the future!
The idea for a pledge came about because some people in our audience would naturally assume that we must be using hidden cameras or secret specialized micro electronic tools. We don’t use any of those gimmicks, and the only way to convince anyone otherwise was to put our money on the line!
Maybe it would be easier to just refer to what Penn & Teller said about us on Fool Us:
“You know in this day and age of electronic communication, of ear pieces and iPads and iPhones, seeing someone that does it in the old style, and seeing how much better that is than the new style, is just breathtaking."

The Evasons consulted for 'Nightmare Alley'
Michael Close isn't the only one who consulted for 'Nightmare Alley.'
From the December 16th Instagram post by The Evasons:
Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley is finally out! We chatted about our involvement with the film recently with our friend Michael Jons. Check out the video interview…
From the December 16th article "Oscar-Winning director Guillermo del Toro Calls on The Evasons for Advice for his Latest film 'Nightmare Alley'" by Glenda Fordham at Fordham PR:
Without giving anything away, what did the Oscar-winning director ask of you?
Guillermo said that he was a huge fan of magic, and a member of the Magic Castle (private club in Hollywood, which we are also members of). He felt it was important that he remain true to the original story, and to also be respectful of magic history. Our task was to read the script (and every revision that followed) to provide notes about any scenes that pertained to methods, psychology and the performance of mentalism. On the first phone call, Guillermo told us about his love and respect for magic. He was sensitive about exposure of secret methods, and he didn’t want to reveal any more than necessary in his movie, while keeping the storyline as authentic as possible. He wanted our perspective, as experts in the field of two-person mentalism, to advise and give insight line by line, scene by scene. Anyone who hasn’t studied what we have studied, to the depth and degree that we have studied and performed, has no idea what is possible with two-person telepathy. Some things in his original script sounded great and made for an interesting story, but just weren’t practical for a mentalism team to actually perform on stage during the era when the story takes place. Nightmare Alley was originally a novel by William Lindsay Gresham published in 1946. It has always had a degree of controversy among magicians and mentalists, yet it’s a film that we all love because we can relate to it in so many ways.

The Evasons on episode 18 of Don't Everybody Leave
From the June 1st upload on the Don't Everybody Leave YouTube channel (with Mac King, Jacob Jax, Jason England, Vinny Grosso, Nick Diffatte, and Michael Goudeau):
( If you just want to learn the mind reading trick, skip to 33:24 )
It's episode EIGHTEEN of Don't Everybody Leave! Can you believe it?? We can't. This episode features our very first teach-a-trick segment! The fabulous Evasons join us to discuss all things mind reading. They also tell us about trying to walk on the Vegas Strip in 120 degree heat, the amazing part of their Penn & Teller: Fool Us appearance that didn't make it to air, and the worst show they ever had to do. They hold the distinct honor of being the first people to give us a "worst show ever" story involving fried fish. Plus, Jacob's great memory, Vinny's naked body, and Goudeau's tips on how to stay in one place while riding a six foot tall Unicycle. Another hilarious and fun episode! We can't be stopped!

Canadians at Blackpool 2020
Updated January 27th to add:
From the Blackpool Magic Convention website, I see that Jay Sankey and The Evasons are scheduled to attend.
Who am I missing?
Aside:

From the Blackpool Magic Convention website, I see that Jay Sankey and The Evasons are scheduled to attend.
Who am I missing?
Aside:
- Have you ever been at a magic convention and found yourself with 17 seconds where there's nothing to do?
- Have you ever searched for a distraction so that you wouldn't have to make eye contact with the humans in your proximity?
- Do you fancy yourself to have Sherlock-esque powers of observation?
Don't forget about Magic Convention Bingo! Click here for your Bingo card and click refresh until you generate a card you like. Simply print it off and bring it to your next magic convention!
Stay alert and keep an eye open for the items on your card. See how long it takes for you to get your first bingo or even fill your card!
Remember to be respectful and don't shout out "bingo" during presentations or performances. And don't bother the conference organizers with questions about Magic Convention Bingo -- they might not even know it's going on!
