Catch them Sunday November 21st.
From the November 5th Instagram post by the Toronto Magic Company:
Is this Toronto’s FUNNIEST magic show or Toronto’s most MAGICAL comedy show?
Why not both?!?
Four of Toronto’s funniest magicians are jumping on the Yuk-Yuk stage for a night of non-stop laughs, fun surprises, and of course, mind-blowing magic.
You’ve seen them on Penn & Teller’s Fool Us, America’s Got Talent, and Breakfast Television. Now see them LIVE for ONE. NIGHT. ONLY!
From the October 25th article "How This 27-Year-Old Queen's Math Major Ended Up Earning Six Figures As A Magician" by Sarah Rohoman in Narcity Toronto:
As he got older, Babins said that enough people started hiring him that it seemed like something he could potentially get into full-time.
"I had to give it a shot, you know, so it was more exciting for me to do that than for me to pursue something a little more serious. And it just ended up kind of snowballing from there."
As well as being a magician and doing both live and virtual shows, Babins notes that he wears many hats in order to run a successful business and that no day is ever the same because of it.
"I am a podcaster. I interview world-famous magicians, and I share it with the world," he said. "I'm a magic business coach. So I help other magicians grow their businesses and use some online marketing techniques to make them effective and more fun. And then I'm an event producer. We produce ticketed events for people that come to see magic shows, and also we produce events online for magicians for the community."

I truly love Canadian crowds, they are wonderful to us.
Just coming back to Canada in general is something I’m really looking forward to.

Since I couldn’t be on stage I thought I'd try the TV screen. I went on Fox’s “Game of Talents” as well as TBS’s “Go Big Show” (airing January 2022).
Also, I learned some close up/strolling magic which I’ve been performing anytime-anywhere I have a chance in a real world setting.
I’ve watched a few live shows already and I can tell you the crowds are ecstatic.
Eager for entertainment, and I can’t wait to give our audiences the best entertainment I can.
How will you welcome Hollie into the Champions family?We are all looking forward to working with Hollie.I’ve already email her to say if anyone gives her a hard time to just let me know…
Not that anyone will BUT I like to say that.
Also the tour will
need a villain soon.
(Every tour has a villain).
[Editor's note: could this be foreshadowing?]
What advice do you have for Hollie to help her thrive in the Champions family?Hollie will be amazing, no advice needed….
If I could go back in time and choose a mentor I would have to pick P.T. Barnum, the great showman himself. I think it would definitely be between P.T. and of course Houdini. Very hard choice. There is so many greats throughout history that is hard to pick one.
I couldn’t only perform one effect for the rest of my life. I would go crazy.
But if I had to choose it’ll probably be The Blaney (Ladder) Levitation, I love performing that effect very much. It’s fun and I just love the simplicity of it!
I hope to see some of you at one of our shows. We are excited to get back and share our new magic. Lots of love!
With Anthony Lindan, Mario The Maker, Brad Ross, and more!

From the Browser's Den of Magic:
We are very excited that this SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH from 1PM-3PM professional magician extraordinaire LORAN will be in the store for a meet + greet, as well as having copies of his new book for sale! Get the book signed while you're at it! Please note that in order to attend we will be requiring proof that you are double vaccinated.
Loran is truly one of Canada's hidden treasures. His magic is powerful and theatrical, designed to really move you. Many in the Toronto magic community know Loran from his appearances at Sorcerer's Safari magic camp, where he was a staple for almost the camp's entire run. He's worked with Jackie Chan, and he also opened for AC-DC and The Rolling Stones at SARSTOCK in 2003, the largest concert in Canadian history!
From Ring 49:
Tue Nov 9
Will be held as usual on the second Tuesday of the month. I would suggest that people can come by as early as 630 pm. You can choose to eat dinner or just order a beverage. It would be obviously customary to order something since we are using the facilities for our meeting. The place did not appear to be noisy, and there was plenty of room on a Tuesday for our members. The theme would be restaurant magic, what makes good magic to perform in a restaurant setting. Please bring some magic to perform and/or to discuss to make it an enjoyable evening.
Please remember that you will need to follow restaurant protocols for Covid-19.
If you have not paid your membership fees and will be attending next week, please bring $20 cash and I will collect on Tuesday.
There has always been plenty of room at the restaurant so we are hoping for an enjoyable evening.
