Broken Wand: Evelyn Matlin
Updated at 8:15pm to add:
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of Evelyn Matlin, co-owner of Perfect Magic in Montreal. I first met Evelyn at the CAM-JAM in the spring of 2013. I had the pleasure of reacquainting with her over the years through Sorcerers Safari and the Browser's Bash. She had a wonderful upbeat personality and always had something nice to say.
In her 40+ years at Perfect Magic, Evelyn left her mark on the Montreal magic community. She demonstrated magic in the shop and was often responsible for starting the ball rolling in people's lifelong love of magic. Many of you know Evelyn as the authour of the blog Perfect Magic Then and Now. You can read more about Evelyn in the March 13th article "The magic of pursuing your dreams: father's bravery had a ripple effect" by her daughter Julie Matlin in the Montreal Gazette.
Our condolences to her husband, Phil, their children Ronna, Michael, Brian, and Julie, as well as Evelyn's extended family and friends.
From Julie Matlin's July 11th post on Perfect Magic's Facebook page:
- The formal obituary can be found at Paperman and Sons. The family requests "In lieu of flowers, donations in Evy’s memory may be made to the Palliative Care Unit c/o Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation, (514) 369-2222 ext.: 1299, or to the Gynecology-Oncology Unit c/o the Jewish General Hospital Foundation, (514) 340-8251."

From Julie Matlin's July 11th post on Perfect Magic's Facebook page:
On Friday night, after a mercifully short battle with cancer, Evy passed away. We don't have to tell you what an exceptional human being she was. Everyone who met her knew. For the past 42 years, she was a proud member of the magic community, and few things gave her more pleasure than introducing people to the wonders of the craft. There are generations of people who remember how Evy showed them their first card trick, and she remembered each one of you.
We thank you for respecting our privacy at this time, while we grieve.
Julie Matlin
