Congratulations Kevin Hamdan, winner of the 2021 Len Cooper Memorial Award!

From the March 11th Facebook post by the Browser's Den of Magic:

We would like to formally announce the winner of the 2021 Len Cooper Memorial Award, Kevin Hamdan!

This marks the first time (since we started the award back in 2003) that a mentalist has won (so I guess he knew he was going to win, right?)
