Master of the elusive and unparalleled storyteller, Alain Choquette returns to the stage with a new show as entertaining as it is inspiring, Between Stories and Illusions. In this performance, Quebec's most charismatic and experienced illusionist invites audiences of all ages to delve into his vast book of magic. This time, his captivating stories, ranging from the history of magic (Robert-Houdin, Houdini, Copperfield, Magic Tom…) to the surprising experiences he's had over his 35-year career, will lead the renowned judge of La magie des stars (TVA) to dazzle you with his elusive performances, his historical knowledge, and his storytelling prowess.
From the January 22nd Facebook post by Alain Choquette:
Magic doesn't just stay: it travels, it tells stories, it joins you all over Quebec.

Toronto and Montreal: Rick Holcombe on Coin Magic (Fusion Lecture) [Nov 19 - 21]
For more information visit Toronto's IBMRing17.com (details coming soon) or the Montreal Magic Jam website about the Montreal lecture and workshop.
From the Montreal Magic Jam Facebook event "Rick Holcombe on Coin Magic":
Tickets are now on sale for our first lecture of the 2025-2026 season with coin-man extraordinaire Rick Holcombe. On Nov 20, Rick will be giving his Fusion Lecture and sneaking in a few bonuses along the way.
On Friday Nov. 21, Rick will also be giving small coin workshop where he'll teach a variety of hand-picked routines, techniques and sequences that require just three coins and will give an in-depth teaching session on his Sly Palm, a practical new tool that you will happy to be add to your repertoire. Email us if you're interested as spaces are limited.
I first heard of Rick Holcombe through my dearly departed friend Curtis Kam. On a Zoom session during lockdown, Curtis said there was a guy that was doing some very interesting stuff, AND the material was easy. For those that knew Curtis, I'm still not sure if that last comment was a compliment or him throwing shade. 🙂
So we watched some video, and Rick impressed me with how smooth and soft his work was. The Mr. Rogers of coin magic, his disarming nature only adds to the power of his magic. I've never met Rick in person but I'm excited to have him in Montreal for his first ever mini-Canadian lecture tour (he's just doing two dates: Toronto and here).
If you're a fan of coin magic, or are a little scared of it but want to add a little bit of it to your repertoire, Rick's your guy. His magic is strong and accessible (i.e. NOT knuckle-busting). So I hope to see most of you at the lecture, and at least a few of you at the workshop.

Montreal: Là où l’impossible prend vie (Where the Impossible Comes to Life) [Aug 27 - 31]
Tickets at Place des Arts.
From the July 8th article "For his fourth show, illusionist Luc Langevin has pulled out all the stops: Where the Impossible Comes to Life is the culmination of 15 years of work, he tells us. A show of 'international caliber' that will tour Europe early next year. La Presse met him in his rehearsal space." by Jean Siag at La Press (translation from French by Google):
"The challenge is to create a connection with the audience," he tells us. Hence the importance, according to him, of involving spectators, who are sometimes invited to come on stage, sometimes to participate in a performance from their seats. But they must be completely fooled for the magic to happen.
"For a good illusion to come to life, it's a choreography between the lighting, the music, the technicians, the staging, the video projection, and the magician. That's what makes it complex and requires rehearsal," explains Luc Langevin. "It's a lot of work and training."

Montreal: Jeff Hinchliffe lecture and show [Jun 17 & 18]
Lecture information from the Montreal Magic Jam:
Jeff Hinchliffe has been a mainstay in the Toronto magic scene for over two decades. He was a counselor at the Sorcerer's Safari Magic Camp, he worked behind the counter of Browser's Den, and was the inaugural recipient of the Len Cooper Memorial award. Now he's a full-time pro with his own successful one-man show. Not a bad resume. On top of being an exceptional sleight-of-hand magician, and expert at the memorized deck, a charming performer, he's also created some pretty damn good magic.
It's been over ten years since we've had Jeff in Montreal, so we're bringing him back for a brand new lecture and show (more details on the show soon).
Read more and buy tickets to the lecture.
Show information from the Montreal Magic Jam:
Stepping Into the Impossible Magic Show
When: Wednesday June 18
Where: The Comedy NestFor almost his entire life, Jeff Hinchliffe has been captivated by the art of magic. His journey began with a single pack of cards, a purchase that unexpectedly set the stage for a life dedicated to wonder. From the hushed tables of magic shops and the camaraderie of magic clubs, to the immersive experience of magic camp, Jeff's passion has led him to perform and learn in a diverse array of settings.

Montreal: Lectures by Eric Leclerc [May 12] and James Harrison [May 18]
Tickets at the Montreal Magic Jam for Eric and James.
Early bird pricing ends TODAY!
From the Montreal Magic Jam event Eric Leclerc Conférence:
Après avoir brillamment mystifié Penn & Teller et été la vedette d’une série sur Netflix, Éric Leclerc débarque à MONTRÉAL avec sa magie… et son chaos parfaitement dosé!
Ce magicien canadien survolté présente une toute nouvelle conférence pleine de matériel inédit, absurde, hilarant — et surtout, conçu pour fonctionner dans le monde réel.
Que vous présentiez de la magie devant des enfants ou des adultes, Éric a quelque chose de percutant à partager. Attendez-vous à des tours utilisant des pailles, des sous-vêtements, des desserts, des substances douteuses (rassurez-vous, tout est presque légal), et même le souffle humain!
From the James Harrison Lecture:
James Harrison is a pickpocket magician and security consultant who has turned his uncanny sleight-of-hand skills into a tool for awareness and defense. With a background in street magic and the art of misdirection, he now exposes the tricks of thieves by demonstrating live pickpocketing techniques at major security conferences, including NorthSec (Montreal), BSides (Florida), SecT (Sweden), and DefCon (Vegas) —where audiences watch in awe as wallets, phones, and even neckties vanish without a trace. His engaging talks blend entertainment with real-world security insights, teaching professionals how to spot and stop theft before it happens. Whether baffling crowds with his magic or arming them with anti-theft tactics, James proves that the best defense is knowing the thief’s playbook.
The Lecture will be two parts.
