CAMaraderie update

From Browser's Den of Magic Facebook page:
A dear customer and amateur magician has made arrangements with Joan Caesar of the Canadian Association of Magicians that for the next 50 people who register for the CAMaraderie Convention there will be a draw to win a $250 Gift Certificate to Wendy’s Restaurants.  And for those who have already registered another $250 Gift Certificate will go to one lucky winner.

Many magic conventions have shut down because of poor attendance. WITH ALL THIS HAPPENING, CAMARADERIE CONTINUES TO OFFER THE BEST VALUE IN MAGIC IN CANADA. Joan and Shawn Farquhar and the rest of the magic community needs your support SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO BRING IN NAME PERFORMERS FOR YOU TO ENJOY AND LEARN FROM.
