Read some of the teaser of the article written by Jamie D. Grant:

With over 1,800 published magic tricks, it's hard to believe Jay Sankey needs an introduction. Odds are you have one of his effects or DVDs in your home or office somewhere and, as a result, have heard or seen Jay as he teaches you something in his recognizably offbeat and impromptu manner. But when you actually stop and think about it, about him, questions can rise to the surface — none more curious than this: what do we really know about Jay Sankey?

Murray Sawchuck at the Laugh Factory

From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Murray's great idea is to ramp out the comedy club's regular stage to a circular extension surrounded by the audience.

Sheldon Casavant: Sizzler

From Edmontonians (PDF):

Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare to be amazed. Sheldon Casavant will delight and entertain you—like he has been doing for years.

Sheldon says that “most kids kind of go through that phase of being interested in magic... it was when I was 11 years old that I really got serious about it. So, from that point on, I would read about magic as much as I could, I’d practice as much as I could.”

Trevor Moore: Top 40 under 40

From page 4 of Southern Alberta Newspapers Top 40 Under 40:

Most people are not Trevor Moore.
