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:

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.

While Christian will discuss his methods, this is not a typical “teach a trick” lecture.
