Juan Tamariz

Since 2015, the Slaight Family Foundation has given away $410,000 through the Allan Slaight Awards. The foundation recognizes the intense dedication and devotion it takes to create art.

Today we recognize two recipients for the Allan Slaight Sharing Secrets Award, which comes with a prize of $10,000 from the Slaight Family Foundation—and yes, engraved iPads, to commemorate this momentous occasion, too.

What did reviewer Jamy Ian Swiss think of it? “The Magic Rainbow is the most profound, extraordinary, and essential works of conjuring literature that I have read in a very long time.”

What a year of magic! As always, we are delighted to have the happy job of announcing the Allan Slaight Awards, and celebrating extraordinary talents in the art of magic. Here is our roundup of the 2019 awards week.

To cap off this amazing week of celebrating magic, we are thrilled—simply delighted—to recognize the “Juan” and only, Tamariz, with the Allan Slaight Lifetime Achievement Award.
