From the September 22nd media release by the city of Surrey:
The legendary career of world-renowned Mandrake the Magician is the focus of Surrey Archives’ next free virtual talk ‘The Real Mandrake the Magician’ on October 13 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Lon Mandrake, also a magician, along with his wife, Linda, will delve into the compelling local history of their late father (and father-in-law) – a mentalist, illusionist, escapologist, ventriloquist, and stunt performer whose career spanned over 60 years.
“We invite the public to join us for this unique opportunity to explore the early life and career of Leon Mandrake, including the challenges and adventures of being a family on the road, and his lasting legacies,” said Archivist Allie Querengesser.
Leon Mandrake was born in Washington state in 1911 and raised in New Westminster, where he began performing at the Edison Theatre. His career took him, his wife and assistant Louise “Velvet” Salerno, and their four children on the road frequently. After many years travelling, the Mandrakes eventually settled in Surrey in the late 1950s on Grosvenor Road and Kindersley Drive where they lived until the 1990s. The house, which was destroyed by fire in 2016, contained secret rooms and passages.
Lon Mandrake has carried on his father’s legacy as a performer. An award-winning science educator, he has also performed internationally as a mentalist and magician. Over the course of his career, he has served as president of the Society of American Magicians Assembly #95 and as Regional Vice President of the Society of American Magicians.
During the online program for Surrey Archives, audience members will be treated to a special performance.

From IBM Ring 17:
When it comes to magic in Toronto, James Alan has had his hand in every cookie jar you can think of.
Performing for the public, he has created long-running shows including Magic Tonight (2013-2016) and Magic & Martini (2016-2020), produced shows for visiting international performers including Eugene Burger, Dani DaOrtiz and Asi Wind. For the community, he has been actively involved with the important community outreach programs My Magic Hands and Senior Sorcery.
During the unpleasantness, has was busy in the virtual space, creating Bring Magic Home, with over three hundred shows with audiences in twenty countries. His tricks have been featured in Genii and MAGIC Magazine (which included the most complained about trick in that magazine's history), and his writing has been featured in Vanish, MUM, The Linking Ring, Elixir and Magicol. We know him as the distinguished Ex-President of our club and the disgraced Ex-President of That Other Club.
