The Evasons' $100,000 pledge

From the June 27th Instagram post by The Evasons:

Our $100,000 Pledge started out as $10,000, then became $25,000, and later $50,000. Who knows how much it might be in the future!

The idea for a pledge came about because some people in our audience would naturally assume that we must be using hidden cameras or secret specialized micro electronic tools. We don’t use any of those gimmicks, and the only way to convince anyone otherwise was to put our money on the line!

Maybe it would be easier to just refer to what Penn & Teller said about us on Fool Us:
“You know in this day and age of electronic communication, of ear pieces and iPads and iPhones, seeing someone that does it in the old style, and seeing how much better that is than the new style, is just breathtaking."

Montreal: McSorley & Chung Magic Hour [July 22]

From the Montreal Magic Jam newsletter:

Among the many things on our plate is the return of our critically acclaimed show the McSorley & Chung Magic Hour for a one-night only benefit for the Mount Bruno United Church (25 rue Lakeview St-Bruno-de-Montarville  QC J3V 2L4) on Friday July 22nd at 7pm (masks required). Tickets are $20. You can buy your tickets in person there, OR send me an email here or at magicians AT mcsorleyandchung DOT com and I'll help you reserve your seats, and can fill you in on any details you might need.

Oh and to be fair, this is actually an updated version of the show including a couple pieces we've never done before. So you'll be able to see firsthand whether they work within our show, or die a fiery death. That's gotta be worth 20 bucks.
