Dear Magic Friends,
All of us here at Browser's Den would like to personally invite you to attend our 40th store anniversary party.
Many of you have been customers of ours since the beginning back in 1975. We could not have done it without all of our dedicated customers both old and new. And in appreciation of this special relationship we have a full day of fun events planned for you.
This is also the day that we remember our founders Len and Bernice Cooper.
Jeff Pinsky purchased Browser's Den from Len and Bernice in 1995. Len passed away in 2003. And since then at each anniversary party we hand out in Len's memory a full set of eight Tarbell Course in Magic books to someone under 26 years of age who has shown a dedication to the art of magic.
We are so pleased that Bernice Cooper will be at the party to witness this year's worthy recipient.
PLUS- In appreciation of your devotion to our shop this is the only day of the year where EVERYTHING in the shop is on sale all day long!

As children, many of us fall in love with magic — but growing up often means giving up on the illusion.
Not so for Darcy Oake, who quietly trained for years before getting his big break on Britain's Got Talent. After wowing the talent show audience, Oake's life changed in a matter of days, and hasn't stopped since.
Today he joins Shad to discuss the dimly-understood craft of magic as well as his new book, Beyond the Illusion. He also opens up about how his brother's death affected him as both an artist and a person.

He bills himself as a “practitioner of the art of astonishment” and currently hosts the one-man theatrical show Séance at Theatre Passe Muraille, but the trick-player Nicholas Wallace is under no illusion that ghosts actually exist. We spoke to the spirit-summoning skeptic about supernatural scares small, large and definitely medium.
I went to a preview performance of Séance, and I must say I left the theatre a little confused. Was I supposed to be scared? Amused?

A lady whose name I forget who took a large cloth
from Murray Hatfield and walked gracefully offstage with. Because no one
noticed the thing that it was crucial they not notice.

On the afternoon we went, we were lucky enough to catch four different magicians performing on the pitch. While all of them were noteworthy in some fashion, one performance stood out the most for me. I've never seen anything like it before and it's one of those instances where it makes you reflect on your own life.
Magic Man Andrew Eland, a wonderful comedian and sleight-of-hand artist by way of South Africa, is that act. He's got an amazing knack (one of the best) for insanely difficult sleight of hand. Multiply that by the fact he's an excellent performer (and super funny), and you'll start to understand why he's considered a true legend among the underground.
During his performance we saw that day, something terrible happened. Not bad like finding the wrong card, but honestly terrible and gut-wrenching in the kind of way that sends shivers down your spine. As a performer, I never want to face this. Ever. Right there, I watched it happen to Andrew.

Shamans, ravens, jesters, jugglers, conjurors, and magicians come in all shapes and sizes. In Tricks, David Ben - Soulpepper's resident trickster - presents a concert of magic inspired by an eclectic range of people and events: Frank Sinatra and Telford Fenton; Glenn Gould and Charles Bertram; Harold Lloyd and Harry Houdini; Tom Waits and Erik Satie; Hammer Studio Films and Southern Baptist preachers; and Dai Vernon and the cherry blossoms in Japan.
Ben, recognized as one of the top sleight-of-hand artists in the world, will showcase some of the most challenging and seldom-seen pieces of magic, all completely different than last year’s The Conjuror. There is no timeline or plot - just great tricks - comical and mysterious, beautiful and visceral - performed with twists and turns.
