Hey Calgary! In less than a week, I'm heading to @snapfotoclub to put on an incredible night of magic. Not only do you get to see a brain-twisting show, but you'll also have a chance to dress to the nines and snap your next profile picture at Snap Foto Club! See you there!
Congratulations to:

Congratulations to the Vancouver Magic Circle, IBM Ring #92, and to my friends Billy Hsueh and Rod Chow for becoming International President of the IBM and National President of the SAM, respectively. Two great guys, and one fantastic Ring. This commemorative congratulatory ad produced by Ring 92 is wonderful. Well done, all!

From the June 28th Facebook post by Len Herb Pinsky:
Dear Denizens,
We hope that all is well with you and yours!
My goodness the Quantity and Quality of magic that has come in for the Used Magic Day and Mini Auction (Sunday, July 17) is excellent!
It has been more than two years since we held an auction/used magic day and for those who will attend you will absolutely not be disappointed!
There is magic for ALL interests. Such as: Collector's Workshop, Super Kids Props, Loads of Books, Close Up and Parlor! Many good props that are no longer made. Plus so many props/tricks that we do not usually stock.
It will be like the good old days too at the shop as our dear friends John Cardella, John Michalson and Cam Dix will be in the shop to help Jeff and I out and to serve you!
And please do not forget that one of the cleverest magicians alive, Pit Hartling will be giving a lecture here at the shop on July 22 and workshop on July 23.
As always thank you for your support,
The Jeff's, Lisa Close & Luiz.
