Winner of Darcy Oake tickets!

The contest to win tickets to see Darcy Oake's show, "Edge of Reality," in Toronto closed last night at midnight.

A reminder also, that Canada's Magic has been offered a coupon code for you to use to save on tickets for the Toronto show.

Some great illusions were mentioned ranging from the all time classics "sawing a woman into halves," and "Metamorphosis" to more modern pieces like "Teller's Shadows."  A lot of you out there seem to like levitations too!
