However, a magic shop is a specialty retail store and as such has some unique factors that come into play. Its most unique feature is that the person operating the shop is more central to its relations with the patrons.
With many brick and mortar magic shops closing down and going out of business theses days, Jeff Pinsky works hard to ensure the Ontario magic community continues to thrive. Running The Browser's Den of Magic seven days a week is a small testament to his immense dedication and passion for the art of magic. Thank you Mr. Pinsky. Thank you!
We’re developing a TV series that will focus on a few young Canadian street magicians and are currently looking for potential cast. I thought I would reach out to you to see if you could recommend any hot “up and coming” magicians or illusionists who specialize in guerrilla type street magic. We’re interested in younger magicians who have a bit of an “edge” or cool factor. The best current example would Dynamo in the UK.

When adding the votes we ended up with a three way tie for fourth place. Because we used an option 1 and 2 it was easier to determine a winner based on which of those three magicians had the most option 1 votes. Below I have listed the top nine magicians. It is in fact a very impressive list which includes three previous winners of the award. In the next few days I will contact each of these nominees and ask them to submit a brief 500 words or less description of themselves and their accomplishments. Once I have these biographies I will post them here so you can all read and make an informed decision. I truly believe that all the nominees are fitting of this, our most prestigious award and wish to congratulate them on being recognized by their peers for their contribution to magic in Canada and around the world.Congratulations to everyone on the nomination list, and best of luck to the finalists!
Read more and learn the names of all the nominees as well as the list of official nominees.
The “proficient magician” part of things may cut possible nominees down quite drastically. Is it possible to nominate someone who is utterly useless as a performer (as most are) but has contributed in some other way ?
We have over 40 nominees and there is a clear first place and three very close contenders for the final spots on the actual ballot.
