Montreal: Shigeo Futagawa lecture

A reminder that you can also see Shigeo Futagawa lecture in Toronto.

From the Montreal Magic Jam:
Tuesday September 20, 2016

 A close-up legend in his own country, for decades, Futagawa has energized Japan with his creativity, ingenuity, and love for sleight of hand. Japanese magic enthusiasts from all over flock to Yokohama, just to meet and session with him.

Furthermore, Futagawa has spent quality time with a multitude of phenomenal western magicians like Dai Vernon, Larry Jennings, Slydini, Max Maven, Geoff Latta, Michael Weber, David Roth, etc. when they came to visit Japan.

Now it’s our turn to spend time with Futagawa. And yet, we don’t have to travel fifteen hours across the ocean to do so. For the first time ever, Futagawa is coming to Canada.
