Today I received a great comment on one of my older posts about the passing of Tony Eng. View the post, along with all the great story by Jody here.

“Local Magician gets some tips from the top”
“West Kelowna magician Leif Thordarson has just returned from Las Vegas, where he got the chance to study with Joanie Spina, who has worked with magic great David Copperfield.
Thordarson got one-on-one advice from Spina on how to smooth out the rough edges in his show in terms of timing, pacing, transition from trick to trick and music.
Spina is the co-director and choreographer of Copperfield’s show, which plays in the Entertainment Captial of the World and around the globe.
Thordarson has been performing family-friendly magic shows for 15 years in the Okanagan at corporate events, birthday parties, and Christmas functions.

I just came across a whole bunch of really awesome balloon sculptures online.

Check out the rest of her gallery. They’re so cool.
I love to surround my life with magic. I came across this very cool magical looking key holder today on Think Geek. Right now its currently sold out, but I’d love to pick one of these up. Is it too early to start making a Christmas wishlist? I think not!

If you search on youtube there’s a bunch of ice cream street vendors doing this same sort of teasing with their customers.
EDIT: More! This one is really funny

One of my friends posted this picture the other day on her Facebook account. That has to be one of the coolest cakes I’ve ever seen before, besides those crazy cake-sculptures they do on TLC’s “Cake Wars”.

Mmm…. delicious cake. (Via)

Well, Derren Brown is just crazy. Here’s a vlog post he made after his last episode of “The Events” aired– In the best Stewie voice he could muster. (Stewie is the baby from the cartoon Family Guy…)

Thank you Darren for the awesome picture! We were both working at the CIBC Grand Opening last weekend where he took a few pictures of me. He sent me this great picture over Facebook. See more of his work at www.HullPhotographic.com

Will Derren’s ambitious final event, in which he stakes a member of the public’s money on a casino roulette wheel, see him win £175,000 for one viewer? After successfully predicting the lottery, Derren plays lady luck again, taking an unsuspecting viewer on a heart-stopping journey as they watch him gamble £5,000 of their savings on the single spin of a roulette wheel. The lucky (or unlucky) viewer won’t even know it’s their cash until Derren calls them.
