Toronto: Mahdi the Magician at the Red Sandcastle Theatre [Aug 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30]

From Ticket Tailor: 

Growing up he felt everything was impossible for him so he became a magician. Mahdi was forced to reinvent magic for himself, literally redefining how a deck of cards can be handled. He performs wonders without hands, walks the Earth without feet, is a miracle to everyone he meets and is living proof that nothing is impossible.

Over 700 million people in 30 countries have heard Mahdi’s story and witnessed his magic. He has been featured on “Penn & Teller’s: Fool Us”, “The Amazing Magicians”, “Star King”, “IMPOSSÍVEL”, “The One Show”.

Mahdi is acknowledged by his peers as being one of the most remarkable magicians to ever live. He has been officially recognized by the Government of Canada for his work and he was awarded the Allan Slaight Award for being the first Canadian Rising Star in magic and the Jay Marshall Award by Magicana.

... 

Witness miracles unfold in front of your eyes & inside of your hands during Mahdi The Magician’s intimate, close-up magic show. You will believe in magic and in the impossible after an evening with one of the last real magicians in the entire world.
