Montreal: Rebuilding Dreams with Loir Suchard
From Eventbrite:
Thu, 30 May 2019
WHAT: Rebuilding Dreams: An Evening Celebrating the Power of the Human Imagination in Fostering Hope. Featuring World-Leading Master Mentalist Lior Suchard.
Lior Suchard is widely regarded as the world’s greatest mentalist, entertaining with his notorious acts of thought influence and startling mind-reading predictions. He has amazed audiences in more 50 countries and astonished countless celebrities on popular TV specials hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jay Leno, Larry King, Barbara Walters, and many others.
WHEN: May 30, 2019, 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Imperial Theatre
1430 Rue de Bleury, Montreal,
PRESENTED BY: Chai Lifeline Canada, a national charity that provides support and care to children with life- threatening or lifelong illness and their families.
“We see firsthand every single day what a difference a little bit of compassion and support can make in lives of families living with pediatric illness,” said Mordechai Rothman, Executive Director of Chai Lifeline Canada.
“Being sick changes everything in a child’s life and taking care of an ill child depletes a family’s energy and fortitude,” he explained. “Chai Lifeline is focused on providing concrete services and emotional support that enable patients, siblings and parents to keep from feeling alone and devastated, and find hope and joy in their lives.”
With 535 volunteers helping 400 children and 2,000 family members, Chai Lifeline provides dozens of free initiatives. Programs include counseling, volunteer support to bring an extra measure of adult attention and stability to children’s lives, tutoring for children missing extended periods of school, family retreats, sibling programs, peer and professional support, and summer camps for kids with serious illnesses that help families retain a sense of normalcy and hope while fighting even the most dire pediatric diseases.

Sunday May 26, 2019
We are very excited to offer you another premiere sleight of hand artist. The one and only Eric Jones will be here to share his love for magic and methods on Sunday, May 26 at 5:30pm.
Eric Jones is excited to share a combination of new ideas and some of his most popular, real world effects. Concentrating on hard hitting, visual effects, there will be something for everyone. Be sure to bring a few coins, a deck of cards and a pen and follow along as Eric leaves no stone unturned. Eric will explain all the nuances that make his magic both memorable and impactful and teach you how to do the same. You'll learn that The Devil Is In The Details.
He'll cover...
The Power Of the Pen - A killer production of a pen that you will use!
New Era - A perfect impromptu effect with a borrowed hat and a coin that can be done completely surrounded . A real worker!
Hellhound Remix - A killer, hyper visual version of Chris Kenner's Hellhound Spellbound that will take your coin magic into a new hemisphere.
Audio - A stand up routine that is a true homage to Nate Leipzig. Four coins travel to the pocket one at a time. You will hear the coins as they arrive in the pocket. NO Extra Coins, NO gimmicks. Make sure you're wearing pants for this one!
Kabal - A streamlined version of the Collectors plot that is designed to be performed surrounded and under close scrutiny with method that will fool your audiences and with an explanation that will make magicians smile.
And more!!
We look forward to you joining us on the 26th for what will be another fantastic lecture!
