Welcoming a new Friend: Joan Caesar

Welcoming our newest Friend, Joan Caesar!

I first met Joan at a Morrissey Magic anniversary party in 1997.  (Looking back, it seems like I spent a lot of time at that shop.)  Joan was looking for members for a new organization called The Canadian Association of Magicians (CAM), created so that Canadian magicians could compete at FISM under the Canadian flag rather than that of another country. Not only did she keep CAM running smoothly, Joan went on to become president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians 2008-2009.

Thank you Joan, for becoming an official Friend of Canada's Magic!

Welcoming a new Friend: Richard Lyn

Welcoming our newest Friend, Richard Lyn!

I first had the pleasure of watching Richard, aka Tricky Ricky, perform at a Morrissey Magic anniversary party.  It was an impromptu performance for Richard.  He kindly filled in for some of the scheduled performers who were stuck in a massive traffic snarl on the QEW.  Between his Saturday shows, Richard had come by the store to say hi.  Richard brought out his talented rabbit (Lucy at the time) and had the audience, especially the children, rolling in the aisles with laughter.  I also saw Tricky Ricky perform with similar results at Magicana's show Piff Paff Poof in 2011.

Richard certainly knows what makes children laugh!

Thank you Richard, for becoming an official Friend of Canada's Magic!
