Gregory Wilson joins The Can-Am Conjuring Lecture Series in November, 2015!

Gregory Wilson is a professional thief and world class sleight-of-hand expert. For over 25 years, in over 50 different countries, he has astonished audiences with his con artistry and unexplainable psychological deceptions.

A two-time FISM award winner, Gregory Wilson is much more than a magician. He calls himself a "deceptionist" who breaks laws and stereotypes at the same time!

As a world-class sleight of hand/con artist, he earns his laughs and his living on stage, with a perfect blend of magic, illusion, comedy and audience involvement.

A prolific creator, he is responsible for a long list of best-selling commercial releases, including:
- Revolution
- Hundy 500
- The Stockholder Wallet
- Ring Leader
- Exact Change
- Pointless
- FreaKey

He has also released several highly-regarded DVDs, including:
- On The Spot
- Off The Cuff
- In Action (volumes 1 - 3)
- Double Take

His published works include the now classic "Coffee House Conjuring" series from Magic Magazine, contributions to The Magic Menu, and a chapter in Paul Harris's Art of Astonishment, volume 1.

Please join us for our 2015 season finale as The Can-Am Conjuring Lecture Series proudly welcomes... Gregory Wilson!

I hear ya! :)

I run a pretty grueling tour as it is, but always interested in expanding the territory. Depends on the talent, and if they're up for an even longer haul.

Suggestions are always welcome...

Hi Bill,
I think it runs around 2.5 - 3 hrs. We lose the room at 4:30 to a Halloween party, and wanted to be sure that he doesn't have to rush through the material.
