Montreal: Ray Kosby

From Montreal Magic Jam:

When: Sunday June 14, 1pm Where: The Comedy Nest

While Ray is known mainly for his amazing contributions to the field of card magic (including the legendary “Ray’s Rise”), he is also one of the most creative close-up magicians you will ever see. He comes up with original and often offbeat effects and his methods are just as wild. The strength behind his magic is that his routines will fool you. Audiences gasp at his effects — when they are not speechless all they can say is, WOW! When watching Ray’s magic, he will absolutely fool you — you will have no clue as to how he accomplishes these impossibilities. From cards to coins to fruit and pretzels, and from nearly self-working to incredible technique, Ray’s magic runs the gamut. This is your opportunity to meet and learn from a modern master of close-up in his first ever Montreal lecture.
