CLASSES BEGIN: Sunday, September 16, 2018
Since 1975 'Browser's Den of Magic' has been helping people of all ages whether they are professionals or hobbyists, learn to perform magic effectively.
The goal of our Magic School is to emphasize quality over quantity. Knowing how a tricks works is only the first step. Understanding how to perform a trick in an entertaining and mystifying way is the most important part of becoming a magician.
Magic School also helps people learn lifetime skills such as talking in front of others, practice, psychology, social skills, patience and concentration.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
We know how busy people are these days. And with most of our dear customers living at least 45 minutes away it is not easy for many to sign-up and commit to attending a class each week.
Instead each student registers in advance for 5 classes. And then he or she may show up for any of the classes for a total of 5 classes.

Toronto: Ryan Brown at the Fringe
From the Toronto Fringe's listing for the "Circus Shop of Horrors":
July 6th - July 14th
It’s dusk. Your car breaks down on an abandoned forest road, far away from home. Far away from the nearest phone. But there’s a cabin up ahead, with smoke spiralling from the chimney, and a light scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting out the windows. A lucky place to spend the night or make a phone call? Not if you’re in a 90’s horror movie. Enter the Circus Shop of Horrors, an eclectic musical revue, paying homage to beloved horror films, by melding the grotesque, with acrobatics, circus, dance, drag, and illusion! Enjoy seeing if you can identify all our references in the show.

At the age of 14, Ryan's interest in magic grew after he witnessed Jeff McBride on TV. Ryan performed magic at a local summer festival and did so for nearly 10 years. At the age of 16 Ryan performed at a Toronto rock festival and in 2011, Ryan flew to Las Vegas to meet Jeff and the faculty when he attended the world famous Magic and Mystery School. Ryan immersed his mind in a multitude of magic books and continues to study the craft intensively.

Toronto: Mahdi Gilbert informal performance
From the Browser's Den of Magic:
MAHDI GILBERT — SATURDAY MAY 19, 2018
Mahdi Gilbert will be performing and teaching a few tricks at Browser's Den. This is not a lecture but rather an informal performance.
We will be celebrating the launch of Mahdi's brand new Hidden Leaves Playing Cards. The cards will be on sale that day at the shop for $20.00. Great opportunity to pick up a deck and support Mahdi. Good opportunity too to have Mahdi sign one of the cards as they are destined to be collectable.
Young Jeff and I have already seen the deck and the quality is top. Plus the cards have some secret details that Mahdi will expose on this day at the shop for those who buy a pack.
We will have a limited supply at the shop of Mahdi's cards. Should you wish to buy a deck in advance please call us at 416-783-7022 with a credit card.

Toronto: The Newest Trick In The Book - May 1
From James Alan's newslettter:
Tuesday night (May 1st) I'll be appearing on a special free show in downtown Toronto. The Newest Trick In The Book is put on by The Toronto Magic Company and hosted by the adorably charming Jonah Babins.
This is a magic show not quite like any other. The rule is that performers have to showcase brand new material. Which means either the opportunity to see something special for the first time ever... or the opportunity to see something crash and burn horrendously. Either way, special! I'm actually cheating. I'll be presenting very old magic which hasn't been seen in nearly 100 years.
See Scape
2840 Dundas Street West, Toronto
Tuesday, May 1, 2018
I'll be appearing alongside Chris Mayhew, Sawyer Bullock and Daniel Lawson. This is an absolutely free event to attend. Although it can get quite full and you can reserve a free ticket by going to the Toronto Magic Company website.
Plus... See Scape is a board game and video game bar, so once the show is over, you can stick around to play.
Reserve your tickets at Eventbrite.

I look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday!
