Each offering is available for only 24 hours.   Be sure to check Tips & Tricks (+ Treats) for Magicians (magictipsandtricks.com) every day!


From the November 28th Facebook post by Tips and Tricks for Magicians:

I'm creating a magical "advent calendar" of chocolately goodness and gifts! 🎁

Every day in December (up to Christmas) I'm giving away something fun... tips, tricks, ideas and techniques for making magic.

I've got a list of ideas, but I'd love to get your suggestions, too; what would you like me to teach and share? Could be something specific, or a general topic. Post your ideas below, please and thanks!

From the November 19th Facebook post by the Blackpool Magic Convention:

Gwyn Auger, the red-headed dynamo also known as "The Magic Assistant", has graced stages and conventions worldwide, winning both gold and silver medals for her assisting performances. Master Magician Lance Burton has referred to her as "The Most Enthusiastic Magician's Assistant". Gwyn can also be found online, providing helpful Marketing and Social Media advice for magicians in the magic publication "The Hermit". Gwyn is here to share that being a Magician's Assistant is more than just glitter, chiffon and a smiling face, and give you a bit of insight into all of the other aspects of her role.

Welcoming a new Friend: Noah Nogueira

Welcoming our newest Friend, Noah Nogueira

Based in Guelph, Noah is a 19 year-old upcoming performer who blends magic, juggling, and comedy.

He's a full-time Robotics & Automation student and a part-time entertainer.

Noah started juggling in grade four and magic in grade five.  He has performed professionally since the age of 14.

Among other pursuits, he enjoys board games, working out, live music, video games, animals, and cooking.  

We first met Noah at the 2016 Browser's Bash where he delighted us with his fantastic juggling skills!  He was back at the 2018 Bash where he had the opportunity to entertain Jay Sankey.
