From the article "The Latest on Illusionarium" by Justine Tenzer in Smart Magazine by Lighthouse:

The extended Ontario lockdown has only increased the anticipation for Illusionarium, Lighthouse Immersive’s latest project. While waiting for the opportunity to open doors to visitors, Jamie Allan and his team have been working up more magic in the meantime. “There is magic every day, everywhere. People need to know that”, says Sean Watson, one of Illusionarium’s resident magicians, describing how this art form helped him through some dark moments in his life. Indeed, Illusionarium is arriving at a time where excitement, wonder and joy are desperately needed.

Do you agree with this list of "Top 20 Magician celebrities in Canada"?

The Celeb Networth site has a list of their "Top 20 Magician celebrities in Canada." 

It's an interesting list for a number of reasons:

• The top two spots on the list are held by James Randi.
  
• That is not a photo of the Ryan Joyce we know.
• The list ends at number 17.
  

 

To be fair, we never progressed the initiative of naming the the top 10 Canadian magicians of all time.  (Would that list of nominations look very different now that it's almost 3 years later?)
