Matt DiSero entertains Canadian Armed Forces
Matt DiSero's website says that:
Rumour has it that Matt's recently / is / is going to entertain the troops again! The tour involves performances on a battleship in Italy as well as for land troops in Kuwait. Matt joins hockey players from Team Canada, CFL players and Arlene Dickinson (an honorary Captain in the Navy!).
When you're able to Matt, we'd love to hear if you got to ride on an Airbus, and if a hockey game broke out (though hopefully not on the Airbus)!
"He has performed for the Canadian Armed Forces to boost morale in such countries as Cypress, Bosnia, the United Arab Emirates, Greenland and even WAY up at the North Pole."

So how do you know what's good?
From Perfect Magic:
When we opened Perfect Magic, before the internet, we bought what we thought was good from suppliers we trusted. There was not this smorgasbord of magic that there is today. Every single day we receive new items to consider. At one time there was Mak Magic, Morrissey Magic, Abbott’s, Fun and a few others that manufactured products here in Canada or the U.S.A and Supreme in England. Now very little is made here. It’s hard to compete with China or India. Some of the stuff is good, some is not. But when you read the write-ups, everything is the greatest ever. So how do you know what is good.

Thirty seconds with Dan Wiebe
This is the first in a series of "Thirty
seconds with ..." interviews, so called because I approached the
interviewees at Sorcerers Safari Magic and Performance Arts Camp last summer with the idea that I
would interview them for 30 seconds.
Little did they know ...
Dan is a 13 year instructor with the Society of Young Magicians (youth chapter of the Society of American Magicians). His advice for young magicians: "Practise."
Semi-professional
magician, Dan Wiebe, from Winnipeg Manitoba, is one of the first faces I
remember meeting at my first visit to Sorcerers Safari. Dan is super friendly and has a great sense
of humour. His son Graham previously
attended camp for over half a dozen years.
Dan's been an instructor with the camp for seven years.
FUN FACT:
Dan would rather watch Star Trek: The Next Generation, than Star Wars.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dan's most embarrassing magical moment was during a performance as "Alex R. O'Leif," when he blanked on the script after recognizing a student as an audience member.
Dan loves that
Sorcerers Safari as a fun place to be. He's a big part of making it that way. His classes are practical, patiently taught,
entertaining and creative. For the very
young kids with shorter attention spans, he'll sometimes get them to do a
little craft that gets incorporated into the routine he teaches. While helping set-up last year's camper show,
he made sure that all of the kids would be showcased and their talents
highlighted in a lighthearted and entertaining way. (Who can forget the sight of
one of the smallest performers choosing what had to be the tallest volunteer?) Dan's first memory of magic dates back to about
ten years of age, when he watched someone make an "invisible flea"
fly onto a piece of paper.Dan would rather watch Star Trek: The Next Generation, than Star Wars.

When not in a
magical mood, you're likely to find Dan at a computer.
