James Alan's Card Under Irony

From Reality Based Magic:

When I returned home from performing last night (at a wedding… with two brides… isn’t the twentieth century awesome?) to find the latest issue of Genii Magazine in my mailbox.  This issue contains a trick I submitted to them for publication several months ago and it has appeared. No one told me exactly when it was going to appear, so it was quite a pleasant surprise to see it. Genii has been around for over seventy-five years and I’m surrounded by some rather illustrious company. It feels a bit like a high school student sneaking into a really cool college party.

Keith Brown at TEDx University of Windsor

From TEDx University of Windsor:

November 8, 2014

Keith has performed at many festivities including; private parties, corporate functions and charity events in Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, the United States, Belgium, Czech Republic, and once, on a ship sailing the Mediterranean. He is definitely not your typical rabbit-and-hat type of magician. Keith performs many different styles of magic and specializes in close-up miracles. People who see him perform are shocked by the fact that the magic happens in their hands, in their minds and right in front of their faces. While performing at various venues, Keith mingles with the crowd, or travels from table to table using cards and other common objects to astound guests. Audiences always experience a personal and customized show. His personality is engaging. His magic is ASTONISHING!

Congratulations to Sheldon Casavant, recently listed in Avenue Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40 for 2014!

This marks the sixth year that Avenue has unveiled a Top 40 Under 40 list. And, as the city evolves, so does our list of the movers and shakers, the people who make Edmonton a great place to live.

After going through hundreds of preliminary nominations, our judges were finally charged with narrowing our field to the 40 people you’ll meet in the following pages. And, more than any other Top 40 Under 40 that has come before, the 2014 class reflects the diverse, inclusive nature of Edmonton.
