From Magicana:
And, that means the Allan Slaight Awards are now open. These awards recognize outstanding contributions to the art of magic in five categories. The Slaight Family Foundation gives away an astonishing $50,000 per year to acknowledge shining stars, magic makers and wonder sharers, all in an effort to support and encourage this wonderful art of magic.
So, come on, magic friends…. Tell us about an exciting up-and-coming magician you know or have seen. Or, tell us about a fantastic magician who should be recognized for outstanding contributions either as a performer, or from a lifetime of contributions to magic. Maybe you saw an unbelievable performance last year? Or, did you read or learn or gain special insight from a book, podcast or streaming service? Tell us. We want to know.
To make your nomination, simply visit this Allan Slaight Awards page and fill in the blanks.
Read more and make your nomination.

Last Saturday, Jeff Pinsky hosted "An Evening of Magic Shop Memories" at The Browser's Den of Magic.
It was a lovely way to spend an evening!
We heard stories from:
Stories told included Magic Masters, Daytona Magic, Macy's, The Arcade, The Den (on Bloor across from Varsity Arena, above Yuk Yuk's, Bathurst and Eglinton, and now!), Morrissey's (Montreal and Toronto) and even Marie & Jack Hughes living room in London, England! They also included names like Sophie Smith, Len & Bernice Cooper, Herb & Dan Morrissey, Henry Gordon, Jay Sankey, Gary Kurtz, David Ben, Mark Lewis, David Mitchell, Danny Tsukalis, Steve Martin, Jim Carey, Keanu Reeves, and more!
Did you know that:
- Bernice Cooper often baby sat a Toronto magician's son at the store?
- Dick Joiner first saw Mark Lewis in England?
- David Copperfield once ended his grand illusion show in Toronto with "What's Next?"
- Keanu Reeves used to hang out at The Browser's Den of Magic?
- There used to be a Canadian 25 cent bill!
Thank you older Jeff, for conceiving and hosting this wonderful evening of sharing!
