ICYMI: Proceeds from The Fog Machine of War
Updated January 3rd to add to the bottom of this post:
- November 22nd Facebook post with gift for Matt
This news is almost a year old, but it is happy and uplifting and a reminder that we can make a difference in the lives of others.
You may remember that in 2023, Matt DiSero published The Fog Machine of War. The proceeds from this book were sent to a magic school in Bolivia.
Last year, Matt shared a post showing how the donation benefited the children.
From the January 31, 2024 Facebook post by Matt DiSero:
I wrote a book that many of you purchased, all the proceeds from which, in part helped kids who love magic get a scholarship to a magic school in Bolivia. Behold below the fruits of your generosity. Your reward is the look on these kids faces, watching them do what they're interested in and love. Didn't even take much huh? Pretty cool what can happen, with the power of community. A reminder perhaps of we can do if we work together, everyone helping a little bit. Its like what Wilton Knight told Micheal in the first episode of Knight Rider "One person can make a difference". Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Well done, all of you, and thanks. Lets see what else we can do down the road...
Well done Matt!
Let's all aim to do some good in 2025!
From the November 22nd Facebook post by Matt DiSero:
Wow!! Just got this on the mail from Bolivia ! THANK YOU Mago Byron !! It’ll be on the wall in my office forever.
“for his invaluable contribution to the growth of magic in Bolivia “ ( I had to use google translate, my Spanish is weak )

I’m excited to share my entry for this year’s 48 hour film project! Huge thanks to the entire team of talented artists who helped bring this vision to life 💖 Turn the volume up or wear headphones for maximum enjoyment!
Please read this quick lil blurb about the short before you watch. The organizers of the 48hr film project give every team that participates these 3 elements that they must implement into their script somehow. We were also given a random genre and our team got Dark Comedy!
The elements we had to implement:
Character - Belfast York Treasure Hunter
Object - Two Dice
Line of dialogue - “I bet you’re fun at parties”
With those elements, the writers, myself, and my team of cast and crew came up with this short film in the span of 48 hours.
Enjoy the watch folks!! 😃🎬

@dailybreadto
From the
Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit club (Ring 17) website:
The show will be on Wednesday, December 18th, 7:30 pm. We've secured the Moonlight Lounge in Kensington market (easily accessible by TTC with Green P nearby.) The room seats about 100 people so we are looking for material appropriate for that size of audience. There is a stage, with limited space to preset props off to the side. We will have the ability to play music but not the ability to do any video projection or any other multimedia. Performances should be 5-10 minutes in length and suitable for audiences age 12 and up. Holiday themed material is welcome, as is material involving non perishable food items. We will need to know what you plan on performing ahead of time so that we can put together a show that is balanced without repetition.
