Toronto: Browser's Den 41st store anniversary party

From the Browser's Den:

Sunday, November 6

FREE PRIZES * BIG DISCOUNTS ON ALL MAGIC ALL DAY LONG * MINI MAGIC AUCTION * COFFEE & SNACKS * PARTY SANDWICHES * MAGIC TRIVIA QUIZ WITH BIG PRIZES * LEN COOPER MEMORIAL AWARD * BIRTHDAY CAKE

Dear Magic Friend,

All of us here at Browser's Den would like to personally invite you to attend our 41st store anniversary party.

Many of you have been customers of ours since the beginning back in 1975. We could not have done it without all of our dedicated customers both old and new. And in appreciation of this special relationship we have a full day of fun events planned for you.

This is also the day that we remember our founders Len and Bernice Cooper.

Jeff Pinsky purchased Browser's Den from Len and Bernice in 1995. Len passed away in 2003. And since then at each anniversary party we hand out in Len's memory a full set of eight Tarbell Course in Magic books to someone under 26 years of age who has shown a dedication to the art of magic.

Keeping up with Shawn Farquhar in the rest of 2016

If you know Shawn, even in passing, you'll know that he logs a lot of time in airports.  A. Lot.

Here's a taste of what he's got planned for next month:

• Maxwell Blade's Festival of Magic in Arkansas: Sept. 30 to Oct. 2
• IBM Ring 129 Workshop Revival in Kansas: Oct. 5 to 8
• Thailand Magic Extravaganza in Thailand: Oct. 13 to 16

(Rumour has it Shawn will also be back at the Magic Castle November 28th to December 4th, with a special lecture on Sunday December the 4th.  Shhhh... you didn't hear it from me.)
