Toronto: Chung & Slim lecture [Feb 20]

From IBM Ring 17:

Chung has been a magician for over two decades with a love for close-up and cards. Though he's mostly stayed out of the spotlight, he has played a big part in crafting the Montreal magic scene into what it is today.

...

Slim is the founder of the Slim Card Co. In 2012, after meeting with a retired Las Vegas hustler who showed him the works on card trimming, he started making gaff playing cards and dice for magicians who needed that little extra special for their performances.

...

Their work has appeared in the UK magazine Operandi, and they were both featured in Issue 1 of Conundrum.

You won't want to miss this one. As we were organizing this event, Chung said to us recently, “I don't want to give full details because like a magic show, we like to build a little mystery into the thing.” Shhhhhhhh!
