Toronto: Karl Hein lecture

From the Browser's Den of Magic:

Sunday, May 21

Karl Hein is known all over the world for his amazing ability.

The routines that he will perform and teach at the lecture are audience tested in front of laymen.

Karl will use many of his routines to teach basic and advanced moves and principles of magic and misdirection.

And most importantly you will learn his 'Go with the Flow' approach as Karl provides alternate handlings to meet varying skill levels and explains how to change routines depending on your audience conditions.

You will be presented with routines with cards, coins, bills, ropes and cream filled goodies.

You will learn:  Heinsight (Open Prediction);  Square Deal (Magic  Square); False Shuffles & Cuts; Heiny 500;  Just Say Twinkie; Rainmaker; Cube FX (Rubik's Cube Routine); Three Degrees of Separation;  Hein's Catch Up (Updated Copper, Brassk, Silver routine) and if time permitting...even more!

Darcy Oake in CBC News Manitoba

See Darcy June 6 and 7 at the Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg.

Watch Darcy's segment on CTV Morning Live.

From CBC News Manitoba:

Illusionist Darcy Oake will wow fans at two shows in Winnipeg in June, and 100 per cent of the proceeds will go toward the construction of a new addiction treatment centre he says his hometown sorely needs.

Oake skyrocketed to fame three years ago after appearing on Britain's Got Talent, and now he's turning his attention toward an issue that is close to his heart.

Oake's brother Bruce Oake died after an overdose six years ago. The family started the Bruce Oake Foundation to raises awareness of addiction issues and fundraise for a long-term treatment centre like the one Bruce attended in Alberta.
