The Canadian Association of Magicians convention has wrapped up in beautiful Montreal.
The meeting, also known as CAMaraderie, received great coverage in the Canadian press. Typical of the positive perspective is an article in The Globe and Mail.
We read on the constantly updated MagicConvention feed from Twitter that CAM announced this year’s award winners.
By the way, if you don’t subscribe to the MagicConvention tweets, you need to. At first, we thought it would bring just scheduling details for this summer’s conventions but we were wrong.
Andrew Webb serves as Editor and works with incredibly talented and prolific writers to bring a stream of breaking news throughout the day. If you are not ready for Twitter, at least visit the Magic Convention Guide web site to see what you are missing.
The big news was the selection of the very talented David Acer as Magician of the Year. Joan Caesar received a very well-deserved Lifetime Achievement award.
