Joan Caesar talks magic

A video profile and podcast with Joan Caesar, a retired teacher, magician and internationally recognized influencer in the world of magic.

BY RYAN JOYCE

[dropcap]Recently[/dropcap] I had soup and egg salad with Joan and George Caesar who live about 8 minutes from my house.

My mom refers to Joan Caesar as my 'second mom' because we've known her since my early teens.  I went to Tannen's Magic Camp because of Joan.  She is internationally recognized in magic and she is the person responsible for getting Canada recognized on the international stage at FISM (the Olympics of magic.) She is an International Brotherhood of Magician's Past President (2008-2009) and Founder and President of the Canadian Association of Magicians.  She has also judged every major convention including FISM and performs for corporate and social events.

Joan knows good magic.

In the podcast we talk about :

• Why Joan founded the Canadian Association of Magicians (CAM)
• Which world-famous magician was Joan's motivation to put Canada on the international stage for FISM (the Olympic's of Magic)
• We talk about her life as a magician.
• We talk about women in magic and why it's hard to be a woman in magic.
• As a judge for the largest magic conventions in the world, Joan shares her perspective on what makes a great magic act.
