2022 Readers' Choice award results

 

Thank you to those who participated in the spirit in which the awards were intended:

a fun way to recognize and celebrate all of the wonderful things being done by the fabulous talent in our country!

Thank you to everyone who made the effort to nominate and to vote.  

A special thank you to those who left comments articulating how the nominees inspire others within the magic community.  Peer recognition is a tremendous gift.

This year brought out some of the best in the community.  We won't name names because we weren't organized enough to ask for permission, but here are some of the heart-warming and fabulous behaviours we saw:

• Upon accepting their nomination, at least one nominee immediately made a nomination of their own.
  
  
• At least one of the nominees, when spreading the word about the voting, focused on the fact that this event was set up with the intent of recognizing those who inspire others in the magic community.  And then they encouraged their followers to read about all of the nominees.
  
  
• At least three of the nominees showed their support for nominees other than themselves on social media.
  

 

Bravo!  This type of behaviour is at the heart of what makes the Canadian magic community wonderful!

Paraphrasing one of our readers, 

The real award is the friends we made along the way.

Indeed!

 

Some general comments that were left included:

• "Nice to see you supporting the Canadian scene."
    - Thank you very much for noticing!
  
  
• "Everyone is a winner" and "So many truly deserving of recognition. Thanks for shining a light on all of them!"
    - Excellent observations!  We hope that our readers respond accordingly when the Allan Slaight Award nominations open in the New Year.
  
  
• "Thank you, as always, for being a hub of the Canadian magic community!"
    - Awww.  Thank YOU for being such an awesome part of the the community! 
  
  

Congratulations again to all of the fabulous nominees! 
Keep up the great work! 

 

Here are the results of our seventh annual "Readers' Choice Inspirational Canadian Magician of the Year" award!

Colin Geddes
Nominated by L7W who wrote:
"To have the ability to inspire others is an incredible gift. I nominate Colin Geddes as the inspirational magician of the year. Magic shows others that the impossible can be real; the challenge can be overcome.

"Magic is meant to be inspirational, unlock challenges and make the problematic disappear. It's rare to find a magician willing to zoom out, remove their ego and give themselves to others out of passion and dedication.

"Colin is a magician who embraces those in the spotlight, educates the willing and uplifts the magicians who might have lost their way. As an observer of the Canadian magic industry, you cannot find a more authentic and passionate magician than Colin."


Websites:  Ultra8.ca, learn more about Colin in his brief bio at Canada's Magic.

 

Comments from Colin's fans include:
- I choose Colin because I think it's important to sometimes recognize those who contribute to the history and traditions of magic in areas other than the classical, i.e. the stage, or the club, or even the large auditoriums where the biggest stars perform.

Ryan Edwards
Nominated by Anonymous who wrote:
"For changing the way people see mentalism in Canada. Putting on a variety of shows rather than one standard and really showcasing magic in a great light."


Website:  Mentalism.ca

 
 

Comments from Ryan's fans include:
- Not only is he an amazing performer but cares a great deal about others around him in business and connections who turn into dear life long friends!  His consistent genuine personality, professionalism, ambition, doing right by others, and follow through is a refreshing quality lost in many performers today. We couldn’t be more humbled to have him included in our business and personal lives as a forever friend.
- Ryan is really making strides in the magic/mentalism community - from creating new shows to consulting for other magicians he is always pushing what a mentalist can do!
- Ryan's podcast, shows and work are always exceptional.
- I've performed magic aside him, watched him perform on stage and have gotten to know him personally. I have to say, both a well rounded human being and a very entertaining performer.
10/10 in my books 🌟 
- Ryan has always been so generous, even when he was up and coming, he did shows for our church youth group Christmas banquet!
