Magic For Everyone

Ben Train

Ben and Eric are two of Canada's busiest performers.
From appearances on tv, tours across North America, and performing hundreds of shows every year, these two are the definitions of workers.

That's why this lecture is packed full of magic that people will really use.

Tricks with straws, underwear, desserts, fire, tshirts, candy... and of course cards!

You'll learn things like:
- A completely hands-off, self working way to read minds with nothing but a bag of candy.
- A hilarious stand up trick that's perfect for kids show OR college audiences.
- A burnt and restored using a spectator's t-shirt.
- An impromptu, and highly visual, trick with drinking straws.

And so much more!
Besides the tricks, Ben and Eric will explain the theory BEHIND the magic. The real secrets to turning a trick into a show-stopping performance piece that your audience's will never forget.

And, best of all, you're going to ACTUALLY have FUN during the lecture. Prepare to laugh while learning some awesome new material!

A little about Eric:
Eric Leclerc is a globe trotting comedy magician and dynamic emcee, performing feel-good magic for your brain. With a resume packed with over half a dozen of his own television shows, Eric is no stranger to the spotlight. As the host of TRICKED on Disney+ for three seasons and a regular on National Geographic's top-rated show Brain Games, he's captivated audiences worldwide with his unique blend of magic and humor.

A two-time Canadian Magic Champion, Eric's original tricks and high-energy style have taken him around the world, from performing with T-PAIN during Reddit's LIVE Super Bowl event to wowing crowds at the iconic Rio Casino in Las Vegas. Most recently, he joined forces with his best friends to star in BIG TRICK ENERGY on TruTV and Netflix. He also fooled Penn & Teller on their hit CW show Fool Us, earning him international acclaim.

A little about Ben:
Ben Train is a comedy mentalist who has performed thousands of shows across North America, Europe, and television - including appearing TWICE on the hit show Penn and Teller's Fool Us.

When he isn't on stage Ben is busy behind the scenes, producing live shows as the co-founder of The Toronto Magic Company, and working as a magic consultant for tv and film (including Amazon's The Boys and Apple Tv's Ghostwriter).

Combining humor, expert sleight of hand, and a high-energy performance style, Ben's show will have you laughing out loud while your mind is being blown!

A jam packed lecture, not to be missed!
