Toronto: Chris Pilsworth lecture [Jan 16]

From the January 5th post by Ian Crawford at the Sid Lorraine Hat and Rabbit Club Facebook page:

Lots of magic happening in January. Our lecture on January 16th will feature Chris Pilsworth. Chris’ thoughtful lecture will cover a range of topics, he’s not just a card and coins guy. 

Thursday January 16th at Agricola Church 25 Old York Mills Rd, North York, at the York Mills subway station

Chris Pilsworth knows how to entertain. Since becoming a professional magician, over 30 years ago, millions of people have had the privilege of seeing Chris perform live and on TV.
His creative and enthusiastic approach to the performance of magic has enabled Chris to become well-known and highly respected.

In 2017, Chris headlined at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California and consulted for 17 weeks in China on a multi-million-dollar magic TV series. Recently, Chris completed a 6-city tour of China, performing 10 shows and presenting 14 workshops to the top Chinese magicians.

Whether the event takes place at the Governor General's Garden Party, the Canadian Museum of History or the opening festivities of Canadian Tire Centre, home of the Ottawa Senators hockey team, Chris wows his audiences!

FREE Zoom chat with Lance Burton hosted by Ring 17 [Jan 9]

A reminder that posted time is EST.  

 

From the January 5th Facebook post by Ian Crawford at the Sid Lorraine Hat and Rabbit Club Facebook page:

Join us for a FREE special Zoom chat with Lance Burton on January 9th at 7:30pm.  Lance has agreed to participate in a virtual chat with The Hat and Rabbit Club members and guests.  

LANCE BURTON is widely considered by his peers to be the greatest stage Magician of the past century. As magic historian Mike Caveney has stated; “Take every Magician in the world, line them up and give them each twelve minutes…Lance Wins!”

Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Lance Burton burst onto the national stage on October 28, 1981, by making his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. So impressed was Carson while watching the rehearsal that he allowed Lance to do an unprecedented 12-minute routine. Through the course of Burton’s career, he was invited back for a total of ten appearances while Johnny Carson was host, and another ten appearances during Jay Leno’s tenure.

Lance loves performing, although mainly retired, (he doesn’t do 500 shows a year any longer) he enjoys doing select shows across the United States and the world.
