1. Canada's Got Talent 2012 auditions

It appears a staggering number of people don't realize that Canada's Got Talent wasn't renewed!

Meta: What brought you here?

Some of the search terms, for people passing through here:

• "morrissey magic vs browserden" - I didn't realise they were getting divorced.
• "st.catharines chinese one night stand" - How do Chinese one night stands differ from non-Chinese ones?
   
• "images of ariel frailich" - Why would they land on this site for that?
   
• "RING MAGIC TORONTO CHAPTER" - Add ASSEMBLY to that query and we'd have the trifecta.
   
• "canadian woman magician" - There can be only one!
• "magic show toronto 2011" - There was only one!
 
• ""mark lewis" magician legend" - Nothing I can add to that.

• "volodymyr martyniuk" - I have no current information on how Volodymyr Martyniuk (aka Vladimir the Great) is recovering following treatment for a brain aneurysm.  The most recent post on the CGT website suggested that 42 days ago, he was doing well and in rehab.  Does anyone have an update on how he's doing?
