UPDATED 12/21:  Tonight, it's on tonight! From the FrewinTheatre Twitter feed:
There was a small programming change last Friday so Greg's interview is supposed to air tonight on ET Canada... catch it on Global at 7:30pm

UPDATED 12/18:
@ETCanada response to my question about when Frewin was going to be on the show:
           "its [sic] on next week"
Apparently Frewin will be doing a segment with ET Canada's Sr. Entertainment Reporter Kim D'Eon.  On the 16th, D'Eon tweeted
"I learn to do magic today with Greg Frewin. I disappear in this box!!! http://twitpic.com/3gik2o"

From the FrewinTheatre Twitter feed:
Tonight Greg Frewin will be appearing on ET Canada! You can see Entertainment Tonight on Global TV beginning at 7:30pm.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything to support this on the ET Canada website.  So tune in to find out for sure!

From the IMX 2011 website:
IMX 2011 brings together 20+ of the world’s greatest performers in 3 days of non-stop magic – incredible performances, unrivalled training and mindblowing skill.

* While Chen no longer resides in Canada, in the summer of 2003, she was the subject of a four-page cover story in Canadian magazine, Saturday Night.  Since she was the first Canadian magician to be featured on the cover of a national magazine since the late Doug Henning, we'll still claim her as ours.

End of year one: Magicana and the MCA

Magicana* has been the administrative team for the Magic Collectors Association (MCA) for a whole year now!  The MCA publishes a quarterly journal (Magicol), hosts an annual collectors weekend and makes available special offerings to its membership.

In their recent blog post "year one -- sort of" they highlight a "fabulous special offer to round out the year."
From their website:
Ian Keable has graciously offered MCA members a 20% discount on his latest book, Magic Shows 30 years of Programmes from Daniels to Darren. This is a limited-time offer which expires January 31, 2011, or while supplies last – the printing is limited to 500 copies. We will review the book in the February 2011 issue of Magicol, but why wait?!  This is a great deal and from what we have seen, a great book.
