For the past year I've been working with @chrismayhew1 on a project we're finally ready to share. Check it out! facebook.com/SeriesOfEffects
— Ben Train (@ErdnaseinTO) February 4, 2013

From the Facebook page of A Series of Unfortunate Effects:

After witnessing an amazing magic trick performed by the world-famous Lee Asher, Chris enlists his friend Ben's help to discover the secret.

They soon discover though that learning the secrets to magic aren't as easy as they once thought. Chris and Ben need to help Lee find something he's looking for before he'll share the secret with them. In order to do that they have to go through magicians Jeff Hinchliffe, Glenn West, and Chris Westfall, while avoiding destruction at the hands of crazed card collector Bill Abbott on a wild adventure filled with laughs and great card tricks.
