Vancouver: Paul Romhany at The Clutch [Feb 10]

From The Clutch:

Step into a world where reality blurs and wonder and humor take center stage! Enchantments Unveiled invites you to witness an extraordinary magic show that defies the boundaries of imagination. This show is like no other in the world.

The first half features mind blowing magic and mind-reading blended with comedy, while the second half is a magical tribute to Charlie Chaplin. Imagine what it would look like if Chaplin did magic. Paul has spent a lifetime developing his act and is considered the best Chaplin impersonator in the world. He has blended comedy, music, and magic to create one of the most original, hilarious, and charming acts in the world.

SYM Manitoba: Inspirational Canadian Magicians

Fourteenth in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is the Society of Young Magicians (SYM) Manitoba!

SYM Manitoba: Inspirational Canadian Magicians.
 

 

It was been a very strange busy year and the main magic I have been involved in is our local Society of Young Magicians. Because of that I feel inspired by the 20 or so young magicians in our group that continue to expand their skills both in class and out.
 
The biggest thing they do is their inventiveness. We will teach a trick or sleight and it is so refreshing to see them put their own style and spin on it and bring a pretty basic trick to a show stopper which for pre-teens is very nice!

Colin Geddes: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

The Secret Cabal of Anonymous Magicians would like to nominate Colin Geddes of Toronto fame. Through his many hats worn as a board member of the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club, he has helped to grow the membership of the club and created new opportunities for members to share magic, including a separate monthly get together which, unlike most magic lectures, features the consumption of alcohol and chicken wings at a nearby eatery. He has also chaired the talent committee which has brought many remarkable lecturers to the club including the legendary Paul Romhany, Bernardo Sedlacek, and John Bannon.

Ian Stewart: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

Ian has been contributing the the Halifax Magic Club for over 25 years. He links our small community to the wider world of magic because he is a professional performing at the international level. But despite all his very real street cred he is a humble, knowledgeable artistic goofball happy to sit with magicians of every stripe and share what he knows and learn from everyone.

You may recall that earlier this year Ian claimed the Guinness World Record for Most Magic Tricks Performed in a Minute.
