Derek Selinger Gives Talent, Time for Team DiabetesInside MagicMagic News Updated Daily for the Professional Magician

The Airdrie Echo (Canada) features Derek
Selinger in today's edition.

Mr. Selinger, an International Brotherhood of Magicians People's Choice
winner and former holder of the Canadian National title, brings his close-up and
stage work to Cowtown for a worthy cause. Visit his web site here.

Team Diabetes plays host to Mr. Selinger June 16th and 17th as it raises
money to support its entry in an upcoming marathon race.

Team Diabetes member Michelle Simonin told reporters Mr. Selinger "is similar
to David Copperfield. It's a first for Derek to do something like this, and a
first for Team Diabetes."

The organization looks to capitalize on Mr. Selinger's drawing power to raise
money and awareness.

Team Diabetes' press release notes Mr. Selinger "creates captivating
entertainment experiences for thousands of audience members worldwide – from Las
Vegas to the French Riviera."

All proceeds from shows will go to Team Diabetes.

Ms. Simonin told the paper she is a seven-time participant in the marathon
run. She hopes Mr. Selinger's appearance will raise money for the eight Calgary
team members. Each team member needs to raise a minimum of $6,000 to run.

"You commit to raising (the money) and they send you to run a marathon in
exotic locations," Ms. Simonin said. "They pay for your airfare, hotels,
registration fee, training and group meals.

"We’re (raising money) to go to Hawaii in December," she added.

Ms. Simonin had no experience in long-distance running before joining the
cause. In fact, the majority of participants have no marathon experience.

"When I first signed up I was just going to do one marathon and now here I am
working towards my seventh one," Ms. Simonin said.

Team Diabetes hopes those who want to support their efforts but may not wish
to join in the training and racing, will come to the magic show and make a
donation.

Tickets for the show are $35 each or $65 for the VIP package, which includes
access to the VIP lounge, private cash bar, pre-show refreshments, box seats to
the performance and a post-show VIP close up show by Mr. Selinger.

Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at:
http://www.ticketmaster.ca. Both Calgary shows begin at 8 p.m. at the Epcor Centre’s
Max Bell Theatre.

Good luck to Team Diabetes and commendation to Mr. Selinger for his donation
of time and skill. He makes all magicians look good.
