Completed an undergraduate degree in biomedical science and moved from Canada to North Carolina to pursue a PhD as a cancer scientist.
In his own words:
Attending camp greatly improved my public speaking ability and gave me the confidence I have now to speak with authority and give presentations up on a stage.
Favourite Sorcerers Safari memory?
Watching and sharing magic with our fellow roommates, counsellors, and our honoured guests later at night in our cabin before bed.
Biggest take-away from Sorcerers Safari?
The sense of community and belonging at a young age.
I noticed the relationship between kids and counsellors was very good and the atmosphere supporting new magicians was really great.
Mike’s done an incredible job with that camp. Professional magicians working today can draw a direct lineage to their success and the camp. I hear that often.
Thank you Brett, Dick, and Matt, for sharing your memories!
Check back throughout the month to read updates from other Sorcerers Safari alumni and staff!
I continue to feel extraordinarily grateful that I had the opportunity to
experience Sorcerers Safari as an embedded reporter, a parent of a camper, an
impromptu cabin counsellor, and an arts and crafts instructor. It was
the highlight of my summer for five years!
The Canadian sleep away
magic camp, Sorcerers Safari, was the brainchild of Mike Segal and Mike
Toal. It was produced annually by Mike and Jen Segal. Located in
Haliburton, Ontario, it hosted a yearly gathering of magicians and magic
enthusiasts from across the world. In 2016, after 20 seasons, a bus full
of magic campers left Haliburton for the very last time.
This
time of year has magic camp staff and alumni reminiscing about our time at
Sorcerers Safari. It's the perfect time to share with you this
occasional series, “The Legacy of Sorcerers Safari.”
