From the December 26th article "Caledon magician pursues Guinness Record for most tricks in a minute" by Aparita Bhandari in the Toronto Star:
Back in Toronto, Sharma started to seek out magicians to learn tricks from. But he quickly found out they usually kept their tricks up their own sleeves. They did point him towards Browser’s Den of Magic, which also offered magic lessons. Sharma managed to convince Jeff Hinchliffe, one of the store’s employees, to stay an hour after closing time to teach him. One of the best card magicians that Sharma’s met, Hinchliffe taught him the basics of the art of magic up close.
