Toronto: Lunchtime Illumination - Magicians David Ben & Steve Cohen

From Luminato Festival:

During this transformative discussion, Toronto-based master magician David Ben and the Millionaires' Magician, Steve Cohen, will be joined onstage by a molecular gastronomist and chef John Placko who knows a thing or two about magical effects in the kitchen. Magic happens every day, it is about believing what you see, taste, or smell. (David Ben advises that all who attend must swear a vow of secrecy!)

To whet your appetite, have a look at David's interview in Light News:

I am interested in the secrets that transform common fare into the divine.

I have collected and explored these secrets for over thirty-five years and I have come to realize the secrets are what can be described as “tacit knowledge,” information, tips, and techniques that are difficult to describe, particularly to another person, but which are understood, and often discovered, by masters in any given field, craft, or art.

Toronto: The Bill and Chico show

From Bill and Chico:

June 16th and 23rd

The Bill & Chico Show is chock full of magic, mind reading, teleportation, hypnosis and laughs galore. Celebrate the joy of magic and laughter with Bill & Chico for a very exclusive run at the Red Sandcastle Theatre in the heart of Leslieville, in Toronto. June 16th is Father’s Day and we can’t think of a better gift for Dad than a magic show! Can you? The show is clean and definitely fun for all ages. Bill & Chico will entertain adults as much (possibly even more?!) than the kids in the audience.

Montreal: Christian Cagigal show and lecture

From Montreal Magic Jam:

We have a rare event planned for June: A show and a lecture rolled into one. On June 10, San Francisco mentalist Christian Cagigal will present his critically acclaimed show “Now and at the Hour” and will then present a lecture covering the details of what went into creating his show. While Christian will discuss his methods, this is not a typical “teach a trick” lecture.
