I continue to feel extraordinarily grateful that I had the opportunity to
experience Sorcerers Safari as an embedded reporter, a parent of a camper, an
impromptu cabin counsellor, and an arts and crafts instructor. It was
the highlight of my summer for five years!
The Canadian sleep away
magic camp, Sorcerers Safari, was the brainchild of Mike Segal and Mike
Toal. It was produced annually by Mike and Jen Segal. Located in
Haliburton, Ontario, it hosted a yearly gathering of magicians and magic
enthusiasts from across the world. In 2016, after 20 seasons, a bus full
of magic campers left Haliburton for the very last time.
This
time of year has magic camp staff and alumni reminiscing about our time at
Sorcerers Safari. It's the perfect time to share with you this
occasional series, “The Legacy of Sorcerers Safari.”

Jack is an accomplished magician, helped to raise funds by putting on fabulous magic show for friends and family! Inspired by his father, Daniel Schwartz, a nephrologist at St. Paul’s hospital. Jack chose to donate the proceeds from his show to the BC & Yukon Branch of The Kidney Foundation in support of vulnerable kidney patients in BC/Yukon.
On this episode, you’ll meet this amazing young man, hear about what motivated his philanthropic and be treated to a performance of some of Jack’s magic tricks.
Meet Jack Schwartz, one of the younger members of the Vancouver Magic Circle, IBM Ring #92. He was just featured in this nearly thirty minute program, performing magic and doing interviews. He's not only a Magician, but a Philanthropist for raising $2,600.00 for the Kidney Foundation by producing his own magic show.
I love that he mentions the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and our local Ring, and was delighted to be included in his list of mentors along with his Father and Rod Boss. We have a wonderful community of magicians in the lower mainland and Jack is a fine example. Kudos to you Jack on a job well done! *Daniel Schwartz, you can be rightfully proud! ๐
