From Eventbrite:

Toronto has spoken! After more than 30 straight sold out shows,The Art of Magic is BACK! This time with full night of magic plus an interactive EXHIBIT

The Art of Magic is way more than just a show. It’s an entire evening filled with beautiful magic inspired art, and interactive magical exhibit and most importantly a secret magic show that you have to see to believe!

The Gallery
The fun begins at 6pm OR 8pm -  inside the Super Wonder Gallery. Enjoy delicious drinks while you interact with our magical art.

100+ year old magic props, world famous magic posters, and paintings and physical illusions that you get to BE IN! (You read that right!)

The Close-up Magic
During the gallery, while you're drinking, relaxing and enjoying the night - our magicians are working! 5 Magicians will be wandering around the event doing close-up magic that happens IN YOUR HANDS!

This is a chance for you to not only experience magic, but to experience a lot of it, right at your finger tips!

The Secret Show
At one magical moment during the night you are whisked away to a private SECRET show . This is a private show, for a small selection of the audience where you get to interact up close and personal with the magic. It's intimate, impossible, and this is magic of the highest level the way it was meant to be experienced: up close and personal. Seating for this secret experience is extremely limited and is included with your ticket to the Art of Magic show!

In order to ensure every seat in the house is a good one, only 50 tickets are available each show for this intimate theatre experience. Make sure you order yours before they disappear forever!

Oh! And did we mention that each ticket comes with a drink 🍸 😘

San Diego: Shawn Farquhar at PCAM [Nov 9 -12]

From the August 31st Facebook post by Shawn Farquhar:

Hey magicians, I am performing and lecturing at three magic events in the coming months. The TRIC's convention is SOLD OUT and the Retreat to Egypt is SOLD OUT.
This means if you haven't registered to either of those, and want to come hang out with me at a magic convention, where I am performing and teaching, you need to register for the PCAM in San Diego.  www.PCAMMAGIC.com

PCAM is my absolute favourite magic gathering. In 1995, when I produced the convention in Reno, Nevada I named it "The Biggest Little Convention", and it still holds true today.
