Toronto: Dan FREE at Harlem

From Dan McLean Jr's Facebook event:

Saturday, July 20

FREE show at this really wonderful soul food & soul music club! Three-and-a-half hours of solo acoustic soul. Philly, Motown & more, plus a few originals.

This show always is sold out for most/all of the night, so your best best is to make reservations. 416-368-1920. The food really is great. My faves are the Southern Fried Chicken & Waffle, the Blackened Catfish, the Jerk Beef Meatloaf, and the Guinness-Marinated Stewed Chicken.

Ariel Frailich on Full Circle Magic

From Full Circle Magic's May 6th Q&A with Ariel Frailich, owner of I Saw That Exclusive Magic:

Magic is theatre, not circus. With proper attention to presentation, we can invoke any emotion we want, we can show who we are, we can become real people instead of cardboard cut-outs. Then we become unique, uncopyable, and with any luck, in demand. It’s the difference between people saying, “I saw Ariel perform”, rather than, “I saw a guy do card tricks”.

Vintage Toronto: Browser's Den

Over at the Vintage Toronto Facebook page, they've posted a photo of a "1982 Interior of The Magic Store" (photo via Cathy Pitre).

This is what Jeff Pinsky had to say about it at the Browser's Den Facebook Group:

I love this. Just a nice shot of the shop and it really captures the feel of the shop with Len and Bernice running the operation. This was the second location of Browser's Den. Four years later Len & Bernice moved the shop to Bathurst & Eglinton.

The Zombie post, now with pictures!

The unabridged version of  the "Michael Weber Zombie Workshop" post is now available with photographic illustrations over at Reality Based Magic.

You're welcome.
