Welcome to a tribute to John Giordmaine, also known as Johnny Giordmaine, Canada's most beloved children's magician (1898-1974).

On this site you will find images and text initially from my own personal collection that I hope will pay an informal tribute to John Giordmaine - an outstanding magical entertainer, a true gentleman, and a most generously-spirited human being.

My collection has been generously supplemented by archival materials from John Giordmaine's own family.

If you have any memories, text or photos of John Giordmaine that you would like to share, I would like to hear from you! Please e mail me before sending them. You'll find my e mail address on page eleven.

This tribute to John Giordmaine is a work in progress (begun 3/20/08) so please check back again and again.

July 2009 Update

I've added five new pages (pgs 17 to 21) including more excellent photos of John Giordmaine from his family as well as the story of how this site came to be (which originally appeared in "Northern Peeks" published by the Canadian Association of Magicians). The article includes an interview with Johnny's son Joseph Giordmaine as well as comments about Johnny's lasting legacy from James Biss, the innovative Canadian mentalist and author of "Mind Blowing".
