Dear Magic Friends, 

All of us here at Browser's Den would like to personally invite you to attend our 40th store anniversary party. 

Many of you have been customers of ours since the beginning back in 1975. We could not have done it without all of our dedicated customers both old and new. And in appreciation of this special relationship we have a full day of fun events planned for you. 

This is also the day that we remember our founders Len and Bernice Cooper. 

Jeff Pinsky purchased Browser's Den from Len and Bernice in 1995. Len passed away in 2003. And since then at each anniversary party we hand out in Len's memory a full set of eight Tarbell Course in Magic books to someone under 26 years of age who has shown a dedication to the art of magic. 

We are so pleased that Bernice Cooper will be at the party to witness this year's worthy recipient. 

PLUS- In appreciation of your devotion to our shop this is the only day of the year where EVERYTHING in the shop is on sale all day long!

Darcy Oake on CBC's "Q"

A reminder to enter by October 17th, our contest to win Darcy Oake's book and tickets to his show, "Edge of Reality," in Toronto.  Our readers also have access to a coupon code for Darcy Oake's, "Edge of Reality" in Toronto.

From CBC Radio:

As children, many of us fall in love with magic — but growing up often means giving up on the illusion.

Not so for Darcy Oake, who quietly trained for years before getting his big break on Britain's Got Talent. After wowing the talent show audience, Oake's life changed in a matter of days, and hasn't stopped since.

Today he joins Shad to discuss the dimly-understood craft of magic as well as his new book, Beyond the Illusion. He also opens up about how his brother's death affected him as both an artist and a person.

Nicholas Wallace in the Globe and Mail

From the Globe and Mail: 

He bills himself as a “practitioner of the art of astonishment” and currently hosts the one-man theatrical show Séance at Theatre Passe Muraille, but the trick-player Nicholas Wallace is under no illusion that ghosts actually exist. We spoke to the spirit-summoning skeptic about supernatural scares small, large and definitely medium.

I went to a preview performance of Séance, and I must say I left the theatre a little confused. Was I supposed to be scared? Amused?
