Jeff Hinchliffe Lecture

From Jeff

I've been involved in magic for nearly 30 years, and yet in those 3 decades I had never put together a complete show. In the summer of 2024 that finally changed. With the encouragement of our own Mahdi Gilbert, I set out to create my first show. A show about how and why I became a magician.
In my lecture this month I'm going to dissect my show for you.

I'm going to talk about how and why I chose the material I did, and how I changed and adapted them to suit the particular performance environment. I'll discuss how I changed or adjusted the presentations so that the tricks feel more like they're following a through-line as opposed to just a random assortment of magic. I'll also talk about changes I'm considering making to the show, and ideas I'm still struggling with.

In addition to that, I'm happy to take any questions about my show that I haven't already covered, and I will also talk about material I'm working on outside of my show.

Please join me as I talk about taking 30 years of my life and trying to distill it into 80 minutes on stage.

When: Thursday April 17th / Doors open 7PM - Lecture starts at 7:30PM

Where: Agricola Lutheran Church - 25 Old York Mills Road

Admission: FREE for members and $20 for guests
