Aaron Jones: Pray For Japan

Canadian Aaron Jones (currently living in Japan) has posted photos and video from the Shikoku Magic Friends Club's annual show, which was also a fundraiser for the victims of the quake and tsunami that hit Japan earlier this month.



It looked like an entertaining evening! Thank you Aaron for sharing this with us.

Japan

Canadian Aaron Jones (currently living in Japan) is featured on a Magic Newswire podcast discussing this week's tragic events.  Aaron has also been blogging about events in Japan as they transpire.  Additionally, within the Japanese magic community there are fundraisers being announced such as the Shikoku Public Magic show and lecture note sales.  I'm sure there will be many more to follow.

Locally, Shawn Farquhar mentioned on Facebook that a fundraiser for Japan Relief (Red Cross) in BC is still looking for acts.
