Ten professional magicians come to the show empty handed.
The task: Create a 5 min act to destroy the other 9 and WIN the least coveted trophy in Magic - The Cheap Trick Award
Cheap Tricks is a hilarious show of ingenuity, comedy and fun. These acts are thrown into chaos when they have to draw lots to determine what they will be performing and with what and in a style unlike their own.
Imagine having to use Tim Hortons cups to make an act in the style of a French Illusionist
Or condoms to create a family friendly act
Or having to get your supplies with a $3 budget from the dollar store and do an act in the style of Criss Angel.
Then get judged by 4 judges including past winners, a celebrity guest and a random guy off the street.
"This show will bring down the caliber of magic in the city"
- A very known magician
"That show was amazing, can I be on the next one"
- The same known magician
Tickets are $25. July 26 doors 9:15 at Comedybar.ca
Seating limited to 80 so get your seats before they disappear.
NO REFUNDS IF THE SHOW SUCKS
So far the competition is fierce.
IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER
Dustin Dean- With over a zillion online views, this sceptic has been calling out fraudulent mediums online for years. His mindreading is useless to him unless he really can predict what lays in store and thus exposing him as the real deal. He has recently been on Penn and Teller Fool Us as well as on the Real Housewives of Tonawanda.
Jonah Babins- Perhaps its him or just Ben train in a Jonah mask and body suit. Jonah is the big cheese of the Discourse in Magic Podcast and one half of the Toronto Magic Company. He has recently been seen on Penn and Teller Fool Us as well as at the local Metro buying cans of beer which he may need after this show.
FenyxFire- This guy holds over 50 world records in the stupidest shit you can imagine. Escapes, sideshow and somehow having the ability to survive living in London Ontario his adult life. Will this madman add a Cheap Trick trophy to his cabinet? Come and find out.
Mysterion- He isn't on the show but is so fucking arrogant he needed to include his name on the list.
James Harrison- This pickpocket is world famous for his magic and on tik tok for his dance moves and duets with Khaby Lame and singing alongside Elton John and Kiki Dee. Will his 750 Billion views help win this competition?
Phil Pivnick- I once watched Phil drop his pants at a comedy club and bring the house down. Hours later we were bailing him out with the door money. A comedy magic genius, he holds the Vegas odds for biggest audience laughter and most likely to win a beauty pageant.
Poppa Jimbo- Part Man, Part Machine, ALL COP. The future is a dystopian world run by evil and powerful crime syndicates. Only one man can stop them.... ROBOCOP. wait..... wrong bio.
Michael Francis- From Kitchener Ontario which is close to St Jacobs Amish county. I occasionally would go there to antique and spend more than needed on fudge and treats. Michael holds two Guinness world records and has the chops to come out of this with a trophy that will likely be left at the venue.
Poppa Jimbo- see above ^
and three more pretty good magicians that will likely go over and cost more in space rental costs. so get your tickets TODAY!!!
