Poppa Jimbo
Join us for an unforgettable evening with Jim Byrnes, aka Poppa Jimbo, a master of magic, mystery, and storytelling and curator of the Prehistoria Museum. For over 20 years, Jim delighted audiences as a whimsical wizard in children’s shows and amazed corporate crowds with his close-up magic.
Then, a decade ago, his act took a mesmerizing turn. Enter Poppa Jimbo — an unusualist, bizarre magic sideshow performer, and snake oil salesman, captivating audiences with the strange and the extraordinary.
Now, Jim presents Taboo at the Raven Gallery, where he brings artifacts to life through spellbinding storytelling. And if fortune favors you, The Wizard of Yonge St. himself might dazzle you with his astonishing close-up magic. Don’t miss this chance to witness a true master of the magical arts! Join us and experience the wonder.
Jim will share:
- How to build a notable character and open to your ideas.
- What the museum has to offer
- How to build a show open to the public and how to get people to buy tickets
- Different types of audiences and and themes such as the Side Shows.
