As many of you know, Saturday is the "Browser's Bash," an all day convention hosted by the Browser's Den of Magic.
Like last year, I 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 "#BrowsersBash2016"
to your Tweets. I'll be adding a feature near the top of this
page, which collects and posts all Tweets tagged in this fashion.
If it pleases the technology overlords, I'll also upload some footage to the new Canada's Magic YouTube channel.
I look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday!

From PBS:
From PBS:
For the last half-century, James “The Amazing” Randi has entertained millions with his dazzling feats of magic, escape, and trickery. Along the way he discovered that faith healers, fortune-tellers, and psychics were using his beloved magician’s tricks to swindle money from the credulous. Fed up with the fraud, he dedicated his life to exposing con artists with a wit and over-the-top showmanship all his own. An Honest Liar is part detective story, part biography, and a bit of a magic act itself.

Toronto: "Magicians: Life in the Impossible"
From Hot Docs:
April 30th, May 2nd, and May 8th
An average magician can entertain but a world-class artist can reawaken your faith in the impossible. In this utterly charming showbiz chronicle, four stellar magicians will amaze even the staunchest of skeptics. But for each of these virtuosos, true success seems illusory. Among them: Brian Gillis was Johnny Carson’s favourite close-up magician and a regular on The Tonight Show; David Minkin can levitate almost anything with his mind; and Jon Armstrong might be the best card trickster in the world—but none of them are satisfied. Each can captivate a crowd, but how long can they chase their dreams and at what cost?
