I've had the pleasure of seeing Jeff's live show a number of times, in addition to participating in one of his Master Classes. I highly recommend the experience!

Great news!

I am in the process of dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s of selling this blog! The buyer is the official publication for a large magic organization. They are purchasing the web site, Facebook page and Twitter feed outright, while paying me a small salary for continuing to publish content. The purchase is part of their strategy to increase both membership and revenue.

We will be working to make this transition as seamless as possible. However, there will be a few changes once the sale is complete. Specifically:

All items will be published on a fee per post basis. (Items submitted by members will be published at a greatly reduced rate.)
The cost of site sponsorship will increase. (With a substantially discounted rate for members.)
Prank posts such as this one, published on April Fools' Day, will no longer be permitted.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to your continued support!

Magic book donation to Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation

From Sharing Wonder:

A magic library is just what every home needs! So, we have made a donation of nearly 40 magic books to our long-time partner, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. The books come courtesy of private individuals who have kindly made donations to Magicana over the years, and we are thrilled that they are now being housed in such a great facility.
