From the Browser's Den of Magic:

Sunday, January 21, 2018

Dear Denizens,

We hope that you've been enjoying the holidays. Here at the Browser's Den we've been working on our first lecture of 2018, and we think you'll be as excited as we are.

Jon Armstrong is a multiple award-winning magician, including Close-up Magician of the Year at the prestigious Magic Castle in Hollywood. He was the resident magician at Disney World's Epcot Centre, as well as one of the house magicians at Caesar's Magical Empire.

He's been a top consultant to the film and television industry. He was featured on the Netflix documentary Magicians: Life in the Impossible. He's been on Masters of Illusion and Penn and Teller's Fool Us, and now he's bringing all his talents to the Browser's Den.

Join us on Sunday January 21st as Jon takes us on a journey through his magic, teaching not only the how but the why. And don't worry, the Tiny Plunger will be there!

Thank you for your kind support-Old Jeff, Young Jeff & The Browser's Den Team

A new year. A new CAM.

It's time for me to renew my membership with the Canadian Association of Magicians (CAM) and I encourage you to do the same.

I recently received an email from Joan Caesar, which said in part:

Our January magazine (Northern Peeks) will be larger than in the previous few years, and there’s a drive to become more modern in every way.

Our CAMaraderie convention will be held in conjunction with the Québec Festival of Magic in the historic Quebec City May 3-6. The performers they have booked are outstanding.

We’re always looking for people to help, especially with Northern Peeks. We’d love to receive articles, big or small, from all regions of Canada, and we’d be honoured to hear from you. We can’t survive without our members and their help.

To become a member, renew your membership, or learn more about CAM, visit their website at cammagic.org
