Fundraising Update

It’s nice these days to be able to post good news!

Just writing briefly to share that the virtual fundraiser show that I hosted last week, Conjuring for a Cure supporting the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, has passed its goal of $5,000 and is now sitting at over $7,000. Thank you so much to everyone who tuned in to watch the show and everyone who donated.

The show is still up a little longer if you’d like to go and watch (use the chapters to skip past the countdown clock at the beginning). And if you feel like it, it’s never too late to donate.

The show was put on by the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club and featured over a dozen magicians performing from Toronto and around the world. Additional video jiggery pokery by Chris Mayhew.

The magician and the CIA

An adorably animated extended interview with paranormal investigator Ray Hyman:

Dr. Ray Hyman, with the Department of Defense, investigated psychic claims during the Cold War working at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) studying Uri Geller, an alleged psychic. He was later hired by the CIA to investigate psychic claims under the now declassified Project Stargate. In this interview, Dr. Hyman talks about his time with Geller and why he had reasons to be skeptical of Uri Geller's paranormal claims.

A Short Film about a Magician

An interesting short film about a magician with some really funny lyrics. Some of this hits rather close to home.

The video was produced by James Galea, directed by Adam Scott Franklin.
