Jonah Babins interviewed by Jake Strong

From the September 16th Facebook post by Discourse in Magic:

I was a guest on a wonderful podcast!

And you know what that means? 

We talk about things I don’t usually talk about - so I wanted to share it with all of you.

The phenomenal magician, and podcaster - Jake Strong Magic, interviewed me for his show!

Jake has a podcast called Three Questions wherein he asks his guests... well… three poignant questions!

In the interview, Jake asked me about the misunderstood aspects of running a magic biz, how I prepare to interview my own podcast guests, and about my strengths and weaknesses with the Toronto Magic Company.

As you can imagine, not only do we go pretty far behind the scenes - but you also get some extra insights about getting more bookings as a magician and so much more.

From the September 7th Facebook post by Graeme Reed, interim president of IBM Ring 235:

ATTN Local Wizards: I have taken on the role as temporary President for the Kitchener Waterloo Magic Society - IBM Ring 235. If you are interested in learning magic monthly with some of Ontario's finest be sure to check out www.ibmring235.org

Ring 235 Members,
Over the past year, our magic family has lost two of its pillar members - Paul and Romaine. Both were ambassadors of magic and were always willing to share with all of our members. I know for a fact their kindness and willingness to share magic have had a tremendous impact on most of our members. We were lucky to be graced by two professional entertainers, and they will not be forgotten.

When I saw John's email about the need for a new president and that this will take some work to keep us all connected during unique times, I felt a strong passion for taking on a temporary leadership role. As a virtual event producer and co-host of the Magicians Talking Magic podcast, I have the skills we need to stay connected through the art of magic.

This year will look different when it comes to club meetings and gatherings. We will have to be more agile in our team's functionality, understanding that we might not meet in person each month. I want to introduce a second monthly meeting that will happen virtually over zoom.

September is upon us, and I invite everyone to a meeting in the park. Sunday, September 19th, 1 pm in Victoria Park. Please bring a chair and some magic to share, and I know John will be looking for the annual dues. This will be a little meeting to reconnect in person. I would also like to embrace our regular meeting date of the 3rd Wednesday of each month. I will send out an invite for our first Digital meeting on Wednesday, September the 15th at 7 pm over Zoom.

As acting president, I have three goals for our club this season:
-Embrace the history of Ring 235 by adding articles to our website.
-Have more opportunities to meet virtually and/or in person.
-Increase our membership - share magic! 

 Happy Day!
-Graemazing, L7W
