If you have a moment, this McCord Museum show is fantastic, you really should see it ... ends Jan 7

Currently running, but just till Jan 7 th. - there's a very fascinating and beautifully designed exhibit at the McCord Museum on Sherbrooke street, just facing the McGill commons.

This comprehensive show exhibits the huge strange advertising, announcement broad bill posters, trade bills handouts, and other ephemera of the then world Famous Magicians during the late 19th and early 20 th centuries, masters like the Great Thurston, Houdini, Kellar et al. The posters' themselves are quite magnificent, full of mystery, illusion and executed with a top drawer skill. The exhibit is beautifully and elegantly designed, all of it is really first class work.

Put down your Xbox controller, and get off at the McGill metro station ....
