From the November 8th Facebook post by Loran Magie (translated by Facebook):
If you want to know me better, here's a recorded interview for the program ′′ C ' est est la vie ′′ broadcast on the channel TELUS. But here you will discover not the magician, but rather the ′′ person ′′ behind the character. I tell my personal life journey. It's not always easy to be an artist in your soul, but it's my life and I wouldn't change it.
The Christmas House airs tonight on The Hallmark Channel.
From the November 21st Instagram post by Jason Verners:

- Romaine was nominated by Luiz C. on November 25th. Luiz wrote:
I nominate Romaine (Roman Szydlowski). He has been one of Canada's hidden talent for too long. He shared stage with the best magicians, has been a mentor to many famous magicians and inspiration to thousands. If you ever had a chance to sit down with him you know that you always learned something new from him.
One of the best Manipulators from Canada.
Updated November 25th to add:
- Alex Zander has accepted his nomination by Shawn F. who wrote:
"I would like to nominate Alex Zander, who during this year has united magicians, not only in Canada but around the world by using the IBM JAM online to bring magic into the homes of all of us at no cost. For the first thirty days of the lock down we had a lecture every single day and now, eight months later the IBM JAM continues on a weekly basis to offer all magicians a way to connect. He gained nothing personally from doing this task and it taxed his free time greatly. It's inspiring to see the selfless acts of another in support of the greater good."
Updated November 24th to add:
- Carisa Hendrix, Miranda Allen, and Richard Lee have accepted their nomination by a reader who wishes to be anonymous, who wrote:
"They took the lockdown by storm. In their isolation they created a
unique virtual performance that was simultaneously witty, creative and
magical with a wicked blend of technology and Lucy Darling sass. Surely
that counts as inspiration."
- Phil Pivnick has accepted his nomination by Ian C. who wrote:
"Phil is already Toronto’s best family and children’s entertainer (A1
media) and has a 5 star rating on Google and YELP. But apart from that
he is truly a really nice guy. He’s recently started creating magic for
sale to the magic community demonstrating his creativity. He’s really
helpful to anyone who asks. Sitting down for a session with Phil is a
roller coaster of ideas. What if we do this, how about this or that
move. I’ve always been impressed with his business sense and it shows
in his marketing and shows."
- Julie Eng has accepted the nomination for Magicana by Ben T. who wrote:
"My nomination this year is Magicana. Not only did they start the year off by helping curate the Art of Illusion exhibit at the AGO - which created all sorts of new magic fans - but they also mobilized quickly to set up the "Allan Slaight Magicians Relief Fund" to help magicians across Canada deal with the pandemic."
"Because of all that they've done for the community this year, I nominate Magicana!"
Updated November 23rd to add:
- Graeme Reed has accepted his nomination by Doug H. who wrote:
"He has not let Covid 19 interfere with his ability to present his magic. He has and continues to perform his excellent Magic in awesome creative ways - online. He is not only the most entertaining guy I know, he's Graemazing!"
- Graeme Reed and Ryan Joyce have accepted their nomination by Ryan P. who wrote:
"They have been producing a ton of stuff, podcasts, tv shows, pizza parties and more all giving an opportunity for other Canadian magicians to perform and connect. The high quality standards of their production are certainly inspiring to me!"
- Brooklyn Westfall's dad has accepted her nomination from Gwyn A. who wrote:
"I would like to nominate Brooklyn Westfall - she's bringing a fresh
young perspective to magic, and showing magicians and people everywhere
that magic has no limits. She's inspiring, and breaking down barriers of
age, gender and language. She's been an absolute delight to watch which
is such a fun treat during these crazy times. Way to go Brooklyn."
We've opened up a "preschool category." No voting. Details here:

Updated November 19th to add:
- Gwyn Auger has accepted her nomination from Jonathan I. who wrote:
"The bigger the magic, the more important all of the team players are,
and when it comes to a magic community, the same definitely applies. For
me, personally, when I returned to magic about 10 years ago, Gwyn
kindly befriended me (not knowing who I was) and it’s been an important
part of my ongoing journey through the art of magic. She’s been quite an
ambassador for the art and is one of those glues that holds a community
together—which is especially important during a time like this. So, I
humbly nominate Gwyn for this recognition."
