Clearview’s act is one that comes alive in person — a combination of standup comedy and sleight-of-hand work. He’s dipping his toe into YouTube with two channels — one called Noodle Boys, where he performs with his roommate, and another eponymous channel for his magic: Mark Clearview.
So, too, is Mysterion, in spite of his trepidation, moving to online video to showcase his talents and keep his creative juices flowing. He has been drawing on his network, including his wrestling contacts, fellow magicians and other celebrities, to take part remotely in a series of videos he and his girlfriend have put up on Facebook: Dr. M’s Mad Mausoleum.

Penn & Teller: Fool Us, winter edition
From Michael Close:
Here's some fun news from Fool Us executive producers Andrew Golder and Lincoln Hiatt:
Penn & Teller: Fool Us has been rewarded with a pickup for a winter edition on the CW Network.
We encourage you to spread the good word. We are beginning to look at submissions for another taping this year as soon as conditions allow. Shoot dates are uncertain, of course, but think September/October-ish. We will do this, however we do it, in a safe and prudent way.
Remember, originality is important, being entertaining is everything, and fooling Penn & Teller is icing on the magic cake. Fool Us alumni are welcome to submit tricks, too.
Submissions/magicians should use our casting email address:
fooluscasting at gmail dot com
Thanks again and warm regards! Send us your friends! Send us your tricks!

Welcoming a new Friend: Loran
Please join me in welcoming our newest Friend, Montreal based Loran!
I had the pleasure of first meeting Loran almost 20 years ago at the Magical Arts Festival in Toronto, and then being reacquainted with him through Sorcerers Safari Magic Camp. His shows are consistently a feast for the senses (and often involve fire)!
You can see some recent video of Loran 5 seconds into the video "Magic in Canada - 100 Magicians Come Together for Food Banks Canada," at 1 minute and 17 seconds into the video "Magiciens au Quรฉbec - Magicians in Quรฉbec," and in his magical Steampunk glory at the 5 minute 5 second mark of the video "Pass the Map."
Learn more about Loran at his website LoranIllusion.com and follow him on Facebook.
Thank you Loran, for becoming an official Friend of Canada's Magic!
