We will be having dinner at the Crimson Lounge (College Street @ Spadina in Toronto) followed by an amazing evening of magic and comedy with Magic Tonight. James Alan’s Magic Tonight (www.magictonight.ca) is a weekly show downtown which features a wide variety of special guests which proves magic really is for grownups. The show is highly interactive and very entertaining. Proceeds to to support CFI Canada and its projects.

Our main performer for the evening: James Alan (www.JamesAlan.ca) is the host and producer for Magic Tonight (www.MagicTonight.ca). He created two acclaimed one-man shows Lies, Damn Lies & Magic Tricks (2012) and The Uncertainty Project (2014). He is known for creating magic which is “Thought provoking, funny, astonishing and thoroughly entertaining.” The show will be followed by a brief Q&A. You’re welcome to ask how the tricks are done, but we don’t know how far that would get you.
