A magic library is just what every home needs! So, we have made a donation of nearly 40 magic books to our long-time partner, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. The books come courtesy of private individuals who have kindly made donations to Magicana over the years, and we are thrilled that they are now being housed in such a great facility.

To celebrate 28 years of life I am planing THREE amazing evenings of fun.
Friday March 29th I'm going to Dave and Busters to see Bobby Motta perform, and play some games. Details to follow.
Saturday March 30th the Browser's Den is throwing a birthday party for me. The event is free, and it includes performances by Bill Abbott, Chris Mayew, Chris Westfall, James Harrison, James Alan... and free cake! Again, details to come. And, for those who care as much about doing "good" as they do about having "good fun", there will be opportunities to help support and donate to the Toronto Humane Society!
Finally, Sunday March 31st, my actual birthday, I'm going to a fund raiser event to help send an underprivileged child to summer camp.

Back by popular demand, Greg’s new Las Vegas Style Magic Revue “IMAGINE”. Greg invites his audience to experience the mystery and art of illusion in this live show, which includes rare and majestic tigers, exotic birds, beautiful showgirls and exciting and dangerous NEW illusions, which have never been seen before!
