Toronto: The Art of Magic [Jun 3]

Tickets at Eventbrite.

 

From the May 18th Instagram post by the Toronto Magic Company:

Toronto has spoken! After 24 straight sold out shows The Art of Magic is BACK!

If you missed out on getting tickets for our previous events, good news: in order to ensure everyone has a chance to experience the magic, we’re doing TWO shows on June 3rd!!!

So… what’s it all about? Great question!

The Art of Magic is way more than just a show. It’s an entire evening filled with beautiful magic inspired art, an interactive magical exhibit and most importantly a secret magic show that you have to see to believe!

The Gallery:
The fun begins inside the Super Wonder Gallery . Enjoy delicious drinks and music while you interact with our magical art.

The Exhibit:
After the open gallery viewing it's time for the exhibition. This is a combination of an interactive magic show, and a gallery tour, AT THE SAME TIME. You'll be transported through some of magic's most incredible moments all experienced by YOU in an intimate setting

The Secret Show:
At one magical moment during the night you are whisked away to a private SECRET show. This is a private show, for a small selection of the audience. It's intimate, impossible, and is magic the way it was meant to be experienced: up close and personal.

Seating for this secret experience is extremely limited and is included with your ticket to the Art of Magic show!

In order to ensure every seat in the house is a good one, only 60 tickets are available per showing for this intimate theatre experience. Make sure you order yours before they disappear forever!

Welcoming a new sponsor: The Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club

Welcome to our newest sponsor, the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club (IBM Ring 17)!  

Founded in 1941, the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club is Canada's oldest magic club and the only remaining IBM Ring in Toronto.  (Don't let the members of Ring 99 tell you any different.)

This season the club boasted an impressive array of guest lecturers including Paul Romhany, James Alan, Joshua Jay, Jeff Hinchliffe, Bernardo Sedlacek, Anthony Lindan, Richard Lyn, Phil Pivnick, BenTastic, Mel Magic, and Aaron Matthews.

Additionally, Ring 17 hosted a members' night consisting of member performances combined with a swap meet and flea market.  The club also gives back to the community annually.  For the past 3 years, they've raised money for the local food bank by hosting a virtual show put on by members.  Last but not least, they have very well attended monthly social magic jams!

The 2022-2023 executive includes:

    David Peck, President
    Colin Geddes, First VP
    Ian Crawford, Second VP
    Patrick Nemeth, Treasurer
    James Alan, Past President and
    Al Warren, Voting Member at Large
