Dear Denizens,

All interested in talking magic, sharing ideas are welcome.
Have a nice day-The Jeff's & The Browser's Den Team.
Like many other kids, Zander got a magic kit when he was in kindergarten. But he lost interest in it quickly and put it away. The desire to pull the kit out of the closet didn't resurface until he was 11 years old when his family was on vacation in Victoria. They dropped into Tony's Trick and Joke Shop run by renowned magician Tony Eng. It had its fair share of the prankster staples like squirting nickels, hand buzzers and whoopee cushions. What little Alex couldn't take his eyes off of, though, was the Wall of Magic Wonders with all its oddities.
His parents and two younger brothers had other plans that day, but Alex didn't want to leave so they left him "with the magician dude."
Eng taught him a bunch of stuff, and by the time he exited he was the proud possessor of a deck of cards, sleight-of-hand sponge balls and other magic stuff. And he began to practise, practise and practise some more.

CLASSES BEGIN: Sunday, September 16, 2018
Since 1975 'Browser's Den of Magic' has been helping people of all ages whether they are professionals or hobbyists, learn to perform magic effectively.
The goal of our Magic School is to emphasize quality over quantity. Knowing how a tricks works is only the first step. Understanding how to perform a trick in an entertaining and mystifying way is the most important part of becoming a magician.
Magic School also helps people learn lifetime skills such as talking in front of others, practice, psychology, social skills, patience and concentration.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
We know how busy people are these days. And with most of our dear customers living at least 45 minutes away it is not easy for many to sign-up and commit to attending a class each week.
Instead each student registers in advance for 5 classes. And then he or she may show up for any of the classes for a total of 5 classes.
Read more and register.
