"The Stooge" to appear at Novacon Nov 12 - 14
To learn more about "The Stooge" go to IMDB.
From the September 20th Facebook post by Rogelio Fojo:
Magician Carisa Hendrix will be watched closely by the English now...
"At last, The Stooge will be getting a screening in the UK.
This has been showing at film festivals around the world for the last year or so, bravely masking up and mixing freely. It has gained a huge amount of attention in those socially distanced circles, but I can say it has been picking up awards and commendations everywhere it goes. Looking at the array of award bouquets, below, I am amazed, impressed and very pleased by the persistence of the producers. The festival circuit can be a hard road to travel, but they have done well in these socially constricted times.
The film runs for a mere twenty minutes, but it packs a lot into that brief time. It is an essay on stage magic and was for me when I wrote the original short story a kind of ironic commentary on and footnote to The Prestige. The story can be found in my recent collection Episodes, but that really does not give even a hint of the way it has been widened and enriched by director Rogelio Fojo. He has come up with real mystery, good surprises, excellent music and several moments of beauty. In the opening credits there is a classic sleight of hand, filmed in close-up from below: you see every move the illusionist makes, yet will still be baffled by it. Full credit goes to Fojo and his team.I am arranging for a copy to be made available for showing at Novacon. This takes place between 12th and 14th November this year, at the Palace Hotel, in Buxton. I shall be there. "

Broken wand: Allan Slaight
Our sincere condolences to Allan's family and
friends. Our thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.
From the September 20th post at Magicana:
On September 19, 2021, John Allan Slaight passed away peacefully, aged 90, at his home in Toronto. Born on July 19, 1931 in Galt, Ontario to John Edgar and Eileen Slaight, Allan soon made his mark, first, at 8 as a magician, and then, at 17 as a broadcaster, hosting a late night jazz program Spins and Needles in his new hometown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. At 19, he married Ada Mitchell, moved to Edmonton, started a family, and jockeyed between local radio stations before becoming the News Director at CHED in 1953. In 1958, he relocated to Toronto and became the Program Director of CHUM, the fledgling rock and roll radio station. Thanks to Allan’s endless energy, intuitive grasp of programming, and extraordinary ability to inspire, CHUM soon set the standard for rock and roll radio in Canada, and abroad.
ALLAN SLAIGHT (1931-2021) With great sadness, we share the news that Allan Slaight passed away peacefully at his home in Toronto on September 19, 2021 with his beloved wife, Emmanuelle Gattuso, by his side. He was 90. https://t.co/wnIbCcgbGF pic.twitter.com/udRemSaELg

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.
