ICYMI: Ian Stewart featured at the Guinness World Records website

From the April 5th article "The magical Ian Stewart: from chainsaw juggling to fantastical upside down tricks" by Sarah Payne at Guinness World Records

“I can still remember the streamers coming out of his mouth, and the rabbit coming out of his hat,” Ian said reflecting on watching a magic show at his pre-school when he was three years old. “I made the decision then that I would be a magician!”

Like so many record breakers before him, Ian found his love for his respective talent early in his youth and luckily for him, he had a solid support system around him that fostered his enjoyment of magic and interest in learning. For instance, his father learned some tricks to amuse Ian and his sibling and was able to convince his brother to give him some funds for his first magic kit, a Fisher Price one. Notably, Ian’s early skillset came in handy when it came to his fulfilling future with Guinness World Records, as his earliest tricks were mostly in the colourful-tied-ribbon trick subset and these very tricks were used in some of his record-breaking stunts.

Toronto: Jeff Hinchliffe Lecture [Apr 17]

A reminder that you can see Jeff's show, Stepping into the Impossible, at the Red Sandcastle Theatre on May 22nd.  Tickets at Eventbrite.

 

From the Sid Lorraine Hat and Rabbit Club (IBM Ring 17):

I've been involved in magic for nearly 30 years, and yet in those 3 decades I had never put together a complete show. In the summer of 2024 that finally changed. With the encouragement of our own Mahdi Gilbert, I set out to create my first show. A show about how and why I became a magician.

In my lecture this month I'm going to dissect my show for you.
