Dean Gunnarson: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

 

Dean Gunnarsson was an incredible inspiration and mentor to me. His fearless creativity and dedication to the art of escape taught me the power of perseverance and showmanship. Dean always encouraged me to push boundaries, stay authentic, and believe in my own unique magic. His guidance helped shape not only my performances but also my confidence as an entertainer.

Matt DiSero: Inspirational Canadian Magician

First up in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Matt DiSero!

 

Matt DiSero: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

 

He’s a working pro who not only excels at the best gigs but also at some of the hardest. Growing up in a comedy club environment Matt knows how to work a difficult crowd or room. He is comfortable in any environment. Matt knows how to construct a routine for maximum entertainment, and can squeeze a LOT out of very little. He was recently interviewed on a podcast about the secrets of cruise ship magic and he wasn’t afraid to drop the real dirt. His experience and knowledge can be very helpful to magicians of any level.

2025 Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase

It's time for our third annual Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase (ICMS)!

Back in 2023, we reached out to magicians across Canada to see who inspired them. And then in 2024 we reached out to the 2023 nominees and asked them to pay it forward by generating a list of their Inspirational Canadian Magicians for 2024.

In October, we touched base with the magicians featured in last year's ICMS and asked them to write two to four sentences about someone in the Canadian magic community who inspired them in 2025.  (They were given the caveat that the magicians in last year's showcase were ineligible to be named in this year's showcase.)  Not all of last year's nominees were able to contribute to this year's showcase.

Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be hosting a showcase of the submissions, in no particular order. 

We hope you enjoy!

2025 Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase.
 

 

Note:  This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of the inspirational things magicians are doing across Canada.  Instead, think of it as the community highlighting a random sample of excellence at a single point in time.
