#BrowsersBash2015 social media

As many of you know, tomorrow is the "Browser's Bash," an all day convention hosted by the Browser's Den of Magic.

It was announced on the Browser's Den Twitter feed that the event is a complete sell out!

The #BrowsersBash2015 is OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT (for the 2nd time). Over 250 people will be in attendance tomorrow! Will you be one of them?
— The Browser's Den (@theBrowsersDen) April 11, 2015

I'm one of the lucky ones attending and plan to be doing some combination of live-Tweeting and live-blogging of the event.  Apologies in advance for clogging your feeds.  To follow my Twitter account, you can use the web or use the Twitter widget on the right side of this page, under the "Selected Anniversaries" feature.   If you're at the event and Tweeting, I encourage you to add the hashtag "#BrowsersBash2015" to your Tweets.  I've added a feature just under the header of this page, which collects and posts all Tweets tagged in this fashion.

I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow!

It's interesting to read the comment section of the post.  How lovely to see that people can be passionate about their favourite magician.  Doubly so that there are so many talented magicians in Toronto from which to choose!

These masters of magic are sought after entertainers wowing audiences from TV and stage to corporate functions and special events. Whether they're using elaborate theatrics or a deck of cards, their specially honed skills can have you believing in the impossible.

On with the show - here are my picks for the top magicians in Toronto.
