Lon Mandrake: Inspirational Canadian Magician

We're coming near the end of this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase. Today we present Lon Mandrake!


Lon Mandrake: Inspirational Canadian Magician.

Lon Mandrake has been a leader in the magic community as the former Regional Vice-President for Canada of the Society of American Magicians. Under this leadership, the Society expanded its membership and Assemblies. While some may think he had to live in the shadow of his famous parents - Leon (and Velvet) Mandrake the Magician, Lon carved his own path. A now retired educator, an award-winning science teacher and past President of the British Columbia Science Teachers’ Association. Lon is internationally recognized for his mentalism and magic but he is most appreciated as a generous and supportive colleague.

Garnet Garven: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Ninth in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Garnet Garven!


Garnet Garven: Inspirational Canadian Magician.

Living in Saskatchewan gives you time to think. Like many Canadian magicians, being far from any hub of magic activity breeds an independent creativity. In February 2023 Garnet contributed his first solo Parade for The Linking Ring magazine which earned him an Award of Excellence. He quickly followed up with a second solo Parade in August 2023, and has nearly completed his third to appear very soon. I'm inspired both by his creative knack for finding new presentations, and his willingness to share the results with his fellow magicians.
