[UP CLOSE 5 ✋🏻🎩]

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Saturday for the 5th edition of UP CLOSE. What a night.

For the first time ever, we had two special guests in the same evening and it made the night even more memorable. We are glad our audience this new approach.

A big thank you to and for being our special guests, and to Philippe Pelletier for being our… “special” MC.

Shoutout as well to our house magicians Tiendinh, Sami, Cedrick, and Jimmy, who have been entertaining audiences through all five editions of UP CLOSE.

And of course… the biggest thank you goes to the audience.
Everyone who bought a ticket and came out to support live magic. This show exists because of you. Without you… there is no one to witness our magic.

As the saying goes:
"Magic doesn’t happen in the magician’s hands, but in the eyes of those who see it."

Until next time. 🎩

[Plus qu'un spectacle de magie / More Than Just a Magic Show]

Vous vous demandez sûrement pourquoi on fait ça. C’est bien plus qu’un simple spectacle de magie.

L'art de la magie tombe encore dans le cliché. Certaines personnes pensent encore : « C'est des tours de passe-passe» ou encore « La magie, c’est pour les enfants ». Et peut-être que vous avez raison! Mais il y a tellement plus que ça.

C'est pour ça que Up Close est une expérience de magie immersive et intime créée pour mettre en valeur la magie au Québec. Croyez-le ou non, Montréal est rempli de magiciens talentueux — vous ne les connaissez peut-être pas encore… mais nous, oui ! Et on vous les présente pour que vous puissiez les voir de vos propres yeux — de très près (jeu de mots voulu 😉).

En achetant un billet, non seulement vous assistez à un spectacle incroyable, mais vous soutenez aussi l’art de la magie, les magiciens locaux de Montréal et un espace sécuritaire dédié à cet art unique.

L’équipe Up Close vous remercie du fond du cœur pour votre soutien.

===================================

You’re probably wondering why we’re doing this. Well, it’s more than just a magic show.

Magic is still a misunderstood art form. Some people still think, “It’s all about tricks,” or “Magic is for kids.” And maybe you’re right! However, there’s so much more to it.

Up Close is an immersive and intimate magic experience created to promote magic in Québec. Believe it or not, Montréal has many talented magicians — you just might not know them… but we do! And we’re bringing them to you so you can see them with your own eyes — up close (pun intended).

By purchasing a ticket to the show, not only do you get to experience amazing magic, but you’re also supporting the art of magic, local Montréal magicians, and a safe space dedicated to this unique craft.

[⭐SPECIAL GUEST FOR THE ENGLISH SHOW 🇬🇧]

As mentionned, the shows in English and French are COMPLETELY DIFFRENT in term of special guest and house magicians to offer an unique experience to the audience. You will not see the same show twice.

For the special guest in English, for the first time in Up Close, we will have a mentalist! Very excited to present to you our special guest for the 5th edition 2026, Edward Gebrael. We can't wait to see him perform live on Saturday, March 7th. He will only perform in English. But first.....

Who is Edward Gebrael ⁉

Edward Gebrael is a Montreal-based mentalist- hypnotist renowned for his striking mind-reading abilities, psychological illusions, and highly interactive performances. He rose to public attention following his memorable appearance on Quel Talent!, where he captivated judges and audiences alike.

With over a decade of experience, Edward has developed a signature style rooted in intuition, deduction, and subtle hypnotic influence. He has read the minds of some of the most famous personalities in Quebec and has been featured across major platforms, including numerous popular podcasts, CityNews, and the cover of a newspaper — establishing him as one of the most talked-about mentalists in the province.

[🎩 INVITÉ SPÉCIAL – SPECTACLE EN FRANÇAIS 🇫🇷 ]

Bonjour!

Up Close, ce n’est pas juste un spectacle en anglais…
C’est aussi un spectacle en français — parce qu’on est à Montréal, et Montréal est bilingue!

⚠️ Et attention :
Les spectacles FRANÇAIS et ANGLAIS sont 100 % DIFFÉRENTS.
Aucun numéro identique.
Aucune répétition.
Deux expériences complètement uniques.

Pourquoi?
Parce qu’on veut vous offrir plus de magie. Plus d’impact. Plus d’impossible.

🔥 Offre spéciale :
“ENGLISH & FRENCH SHOWS / SPECTACLE FR/EN” – 50 $ (rabais de 10 $)
👉 2 spectacles.
👉 2 ambiances.
👉 2 expériences inoubliables.

Pour seulement 50 $.

Sans plus attendre, nous sommes très heureux de vous annoncer notre invité spécial pour le spectacle en français : David Jodoin!

Qui est David Jodoin ⁉

Magicien depuis plus de 15 ans, David propose une approche sans artifice : pas de grande scène, pas de distance, seulement une magie qui se vit de près, directement dans la tête du public.

Son style unique mélange magie, mentalisme et endurance physique. Vous l’avez peut-être déjà vu à la télévision aux côtés de Julie Snyder ou entendu à la radio dans Le retour des Fantastiques.

Récipiendaire d’une bourse du Conseil de la culture de Saint-Hyacinthe, David s’est fait connaître pour sa capacité à créer des moments forts dans des contextes intimes, où chaque réaction compte et où l’impossible devient possible.

Tout récemment, il a présenté un hommage à Houdini à sa façon dans le cadre de la Semaine Complètement Cirque à la TOHU.

[DOUBLE EDITIONS!] First of all, we apologize for the long wait! We didn’t want to rush for the sake of making another edition, we want to make it BETTER every single time to give you the best Close-Up Magic Experience. We are aiming for a Quality Magic Show not quantity! Our mission is promoting the Montreal magic scene to the entire world. Montreal has amazing magicians, but you don’t know them! Like the previous editions, there will be one show in English and the other in French. This time, we will welcome two special guests (French and English). Both shows are completely different. You can attend one of the two shows or… you can attend the two shows! The next Up Close Show will be on March 7th 2026. Stay alert for the future update.

The ticket will be online tomorrow 10AM (February 7th @ 10AM)

[THANK YOU FOR THE 3RD EDITION 💕🎉]

A heartfelt thank you to our audience for attending the 3rd Edition of UP CLOSE! We had an amazing evening last Saturday performing Close-Up Magic in our new Montreal venue. Special thank you to Clement Le Roux and Fred Peloquin for being part of the 3rd Edition of Up Close. We extend our appreciation to the staff at L'espace La Risée for their excellent services, spotlighting us and ensuring our audience's comfort. Thank you once again to our supportive audience for making the Close-Up Magic Show in Montreal a success.

[SPECIAL GUEST REVEAL ✨]
Very excited to present to you our special guest for the fall edition, Clément Le Roux. We can't wait to see him perform live on Saturday, December 9th @ L'Espace La Risée. He will perform in English and in French! But first.....

Who is Clément Le Roux ⁉

A sailor? A magician? A storyteller? A "putpocket" (yes, you read it right)? A violin player? Clément Le Roux is a bit of all that at once. He recently returned from Finland, where he created an immersive show in the heart of a Scandinavian forest, collaborating with circus artists and classical musicians.

Joined by Fred Péloquin, a singer-accordionist with whom he has been working for years, they will take you to a world where music, magic, and stories gradually intertwine throughout the narrative. Should you be carried away by the gentle melodies of the accordion or focus your attention on the small object just placed on the corner of the table? Did they improvise this moment, or perhaps everything was planned from the beginning? If you want to find out, just come and form your own opinion!
