Ottawa and Toronto: Wes Barker
If you get the chance, go see Wes Barker, recently awarded the honour of "Variety Act of 2017."
At the end of the month, you can catch Wes at 'Magic Monday' in Ottawa. Mid-November he'll be in Toronto (info at bottom of the post).
Regular reader and guest poster, The Magic Demon, has also let me know that Wes was recently featured on the podcast "What's So Funny?" (The link can be found at CoopRadio.org, Sunday night at 11pm.) As an aside, I've also been informed that Sunday Oct 29th at 11pm to midnight Pacific Time, CFRO 100.5 FM Vancouver will feature an hour long live interview with Shawn Farquhar.
A quick reminder that Wes will be in Burnaby this weekend as part of "M."

2016 Readers' Choice award results
Thank you all for participating in the spirit in which the awards were intended: a fun way to recognize and celebrate all of the fabulous talent in our country.
One hundred and eighty five of you voted in this "bragging rights" only contest. Here are the results of our first ever "Readers' Choice Inspirational Canadian Magician of the Year" award!
Beacons of Inspiration
Murray and Teresa Hatfield
The Hatfields outdid themselves last year with their production "Unbelievable." Murray also stepped up to the Vice President position of CAM, in anticipation of becoming CAM President later this year.
Thanks for the inspiration Murray and Teresa!

Matt DiSero
In 2016 Matt appeared on season 3 of Penn and Teller's "Fool Us," which I think is inspiring all on it's own. He also has a knack for keeping things light and making us laugh.
Thanks for the inspiration Matt!

Editor's Choice
Mahdi Gilbert
I found Mahdi's appearance on season 3 of Penn and Teller's "Fool Us" very powerful and inspirational. I was also impressed that one of my readers from Germany chose to nominate Mahdi. Apparently he has quite the fan base!
