WORLD RECORD HEIGHTS: In this Canadian Conjuror's Interview, we are chatting with Doug 'the Great' Hunt, a man who has been raising the bar for decades!
On October 21st, Doug will attempt to re-take the World Record, and in this interview, we discuss the challenges, benefits and strategies for planning a stunt of this scale (and height.)
Here are a few topics we'll cover:
- Media stunts and how they can skyrocket your presence in your community.
- The art of turning passion into powerful promotion, drawing from Doug's upcoming world-record attempt.
- Lessons and gems from decades of experience offer actionable advice for emerging and seasoned magicians.
- The undeniable importance of community in the magic world and the evolving role of magic clubs in our digital age.
From the importance of community and magic clubs in our ever-digital world to the art of crafting unforgettable media stunts, this 25-minute interview is packed with insights and stories that every magician, both aspiring and seasoned, will find invaluable.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Delusionists on their Canadian premiere!
The last chance to catch
Young and Strange Delusionists
in Canada this year is in
Windsor
tonight, October 15th.
On Friday Kidlet and I made the trek to Barrie's
Georgian Theatre.
Note to parents of young children: The music can be very loud at times throughout the show. There's also a smoke machine involved. Forewarned is forearmed.
There's a videographer on hand to capture close-up miracles and project them nice and big on a screen so everyone can see!
Regular readers of the blog have probably guessed that this would be our
summary of the show:
If you're not able to catch Young and Strange Delusionists this year, you may be able to see them as part of the
Champions of Magic ensemble touring in 2023 - 2024. Check
the Champions of Magic website
for current tour information. [At this time, Canadian dates include Toronto (Dec 27 - 29), Regina (Mar 17), and Edmonton (Mar 22 - Apr 6).]
