Our  weekly roundup of whimsy and wizardry. This week's installment includes Simon Pierro bending reality, David Blaine on Psychology and Magic, and a bedazzling Playboy model.

The McCord Museum has acquired an outstanding collection of posters and documents related to magic, the only one of its size in Canada. It is considered one of the five most important private collections on the subject in the world.

We have received a number of emails asking about a possible reprint for Erdnase Unmasked, a composite publication of articles culled from the pages of Magicol – A Journal of Magic History and Collectibles.
