Michael Close Webinar: The Truth about Lying (take 2)
From Michael Close's Facebook post:
Some thoughts on the webinar from our readers ...
Lisa and I have received a lot of emails from people who arrived too late for the party that was the Truth about Lying webinar. So we're going to present it again. This is not a rebroadcast; it will be a live presentation, which means you'll be able to ask questions as we go along. The response of the first webinar was overwhelmingly positive.
The date for this is Thursday, January 31, at 9:00 p.m. EST. You can register at the link below. Please feel free to share this post. The webinar is for magicians of all interests and skill levels. Thanks.

Some thoughts on the webinar from our readers ...
Hey, everyone, @MikeCloseMagic gave a great webinar explaining the truth about lying. Unless the whole thing was a lie, and we didn’t catch on. :) The webinar was super affordable, too… and that’s no lie!— Doug C. (@magicinfo_ca) January 27, 2019

Toronto: Greg Wilson lecture - "Things I carry and use..."
From the Browser's Den of Magic:
Wednesday, February 20, 2019
Please Pay at the Door $20 (Standing Room Only)
From the man who brought us such gems as Pointless, Bandwidth, Revolution, Cold Case, Unleashed, Hundy 500 and so much more, Greg Wilson is bringing his brand-new lecture to the Browser's Den! He's a two-time FISM winner, he had an entire chapter dedicated to his magic in Paul Harris' ART OF ASTONISHMENT books, and now he's coming to share his decades of knowledge with you!
Just like the title, Greg's lecture will use things that fit in his pockets and things found around him, teaching you to be ever-ready for performing spur-of-the-moment astonishments.
Building on his best-selling videos “Off the Cuff” and “On the Spot”, Greg teaches you how to convert everyday objects into devastating weapons of deception. The emphasis here is on ENTERTAINMENT. From close-up to stand-up, there’s something for everyone.
Now just because it’s called a lecture doesn’t mean it has to be dry and academic. You will experience a rip-roaring, laugh-out-loud, audience-involving show! Greg will not only fool you, he'll have you laughing and clapping along the way!
This is one lecture you DO NOT WANT TO MISS!
Please Pay at the Door $20 (Standing Room Only)
Thank you for your kind support - The Jeff's & The Browser's Den Team

Toronto: Ryan Murray lecture
From the Browser's Den of Magic newsletter:
Sunday, February 10
Ryan Murray's new book 'Curious Weaving' has been completed (proofread by Jeff Hinchliffe). It is a book on one of the most talked about of all shuffles in 'magic' the Faro Shuffle.
The Faro Shuffle is a technique used by most of the top professional card handlers in the world. However, it is a technique that requires study and effort. For those who enjoy memorized deck work the Faro shuffle is a valuable weapon.
Ryan will be covering different methods so that there is something of value for all skill levels including: IN-HANDS FARO (Technique & Fixing Mistakes); PROPERTIES (Cycling Order, Straddle Faro; Controlling a Card to Any Position); TABLED FARO (Breakdown of Techniques, Checking for Mistakes, Controlling In or Out, Combining with Riffle Shuffle); DOUBLE FARO.
And he will be performing some effects from his new book.

Random thoughts from the Kayla Drescher lecture
I should start with congratulations to Kayla for keeping her energy up through the
evening after having just completed a grueling 41 show run with the recent Champions of Magic tour!
- Hurray for Loblaws, Roots, and
CanadaCanadian Tire! - And beer, ginger beer, and Brio!
- Colour changing bottle caps are very cool.
- How do you define magic, art, and craft? (Definitely not the same way I used the term "arts and crafts" in my earlier report of the show!)
- Because ... science!
- And bar towels!
- Kayla gave Rosemary Reid a shout out for her video:
(You may remember that Rosemary delighted us all with the first iteration of this speech which she shared at the 2017 Browser's Bash.)
- Chris Westfall made a memorable entrance. (How many elastic bands do you wear on your wrists?)
- There was a mini Sorcerers Safari reunion with Rosemary Reid, Lee Asher, Chris Mayhew, Chris Westfall, and Jonah Babins! (Which made Kidlet doubly regret the decision to not attend.)
@MagicinHeelsKD Toronto lecture with @LeeAsherMagic @chrismayhews @jonahbabins & more! pic.twitter.com/S0b08IBkes— Rosemary Reid (@RosemaryReid) January 8, 2019
- Staff appreciation and lessons from street performers.
- Described a fabulous pseudo-controlled study on colours that increase tips! (Also pseudo-controlled for gender with surprising results.)
- Demonstrated a fabulous tip for bar magicians to increase probability of receiving a big tip. (I wonder how one could design a study to see if that methodology gives the same % tip increase for a man using the technique as for a woman using the technique?)
- Something spontaneously happened at the 1 hour 15 minute mark that Kayla was totally expecting. (I'm not entirely convinced that it wasn't just a case of a poorly worded question.)
- If you aren't already, subscribe to Shezam, the feminist podcast that hopes to make itself obsolete. The podcast has great tips and strategies for young women starting out in magic (No pockets? No problems!) Carisa Hendrix and Kayla also share entertaining anecdotes about performing and lots of pro-tips too!
- After the break, Kayla gave a fabulous hands-on lesson for colour changing bottle caps using a technique even I can master!
- Good times, good fun, good magic.
- Thank you Kayla!
Great turnout for a great lecture at the first @IBMring17 meeting of 2019! Thank you @MagicinHeelsKD— Canada's Magic (@canadasmagic) January 8, 2019
I hope you can finally get some well deserved rest! pic.twitter.com/g7keN6Dxlk

Toronto: Michel Huot lecture
From the Browser's Den of Magic:
Sunday, January 20, 2019
Dear Denizens,
We are so excited to start off the 2019 year with a lecture by Michel Huot.
It is not often that we have a lecturer who earns almost all of his living as a corporate magician. Michel Huot is just that magician. He has been a corporate magician for 24 years. Over the past 24 years he has given more then 4,000 performances!
Years and years of performing magic in the real world have fine tuned his performances to make sure that he gets repeat business...repeat business...from businesses.
He is also a top notch creator of magic including 'Priceless', 'Dirty Pool' and the soon to be released 'Socks'. Many of his routines have also appeared in the magazines 'Genii', 'Magic', 'The Magic Menu'. Some of his creations have also appeared in the books of David Acer, John Lovick.
He has performed and lectured in Algeria, Mexico, Canada, France, Magic Circle in London, Penguin Magic.
In his lecture you will learn cool tricks with your shoe, your cellphone, plush toys, socks, cards, jacket and more. Everything Michel teaches you is magic and methods for the real world; magic, that can be done in non ideal surroundings.
