The 2015 Len Cooper Memorial Award

Every year the Browser's Den of Magic in Toronto gives out an award commemorating the shop's founder, Len Cooper. The award is given to a promising young magician and includes a complete set of the Tarbell Course in Magic. This eight-volume set is one of the most expansive magic references sources in English. I've won the award, as have a number of my friends in magic in the city. This year's award was presented at the shop's 40th Anniversary Party to Abdurrahman Ahmed who is also the Director of Covert Mischief on Magic Tonight. So to not only congratulate him on receiving the award but also to encourage him to lock himself indoors and study his treasure trove of magic reference materials, here is a collection of photos, some of which will make him embarrassed to show his face in public.

Last week on Magic Tonight

Last week was incredible. We performed all three shows at our locations in Toronto, Mississauga and Pickering. Here are some of the memorable moments. (These include material which is a bit too goofy for the official gallery.) Magic Tonight happens every week in Toronto (Sundays), Mississauga (Thursdays) and Pickering (Fridays).* Readers of the blog can use the discount code reality when buying tickets online for a special discount on show tickets and dinner.

*Actually that's not quite true. We're off this week since most of our performers, including me, will be attending the annual secret magic gathering, Magi Fest. An event so secret you can't even learn about it through googling.
