James Alan's "Magic Tonight"

Well, not TONIGHT exactly.  But Friday nights.  On Zoom.

Tickets and details at MagicTonight.ca

 

From the December 9th Facebook post by James Alan:

Shameless self-promotion: After a bit of a (pandemic-induced) hiatus, decided to go back to doing a weekly show on Friday nights. My old show, Magic and Martini was all about getting all dressed up. This one is all about curling up and getting comfortable... possibly letting your cat upstage me... If you'd like to drop by and spend a whole hour looking at my annoying bookshelf, tickets are at www.magictonight.ca

It took a couple days to process, and I still can’t believe it...

I am humbled to be the IBM - International Brotherhood of Magicians Board of Trustees Nominee for President-Elect this year. 

For the past 12 years I have it has been an honour to be a part of this amazing organization; meeting and working with so many people who keep it in top shape has been such an incredible experience and eye opening experience. We still have a lot of work to get done, and the team I get to work with is absolutely stellar.
