The Silver Wand Club was an organization for youngsters in Toronto founded by Peter Isaacs (1950-1986) and later run by Jimmy Lake (1909-1985). They met in the basement of Bathurst Heights Public Library one Saturday afternoon each month during the school year. Each meeting was comprised of a discussion about magical "business", as well as performances by members of the club. In addition, Jimmy Lake often brought in special guests to perform, such as Ron Leonard of Uncle Bobby Show fame. The latter part of each meeting featured a dealer table set up by Jimmy Lake so members of the club could purchase magical effects at reasonable prices, or trade used effects between themselves. A number of the members of this club went on to become well-known Toronto magicians in their own right.
