This award acknowledges the exceptional commitment to magic by the dedicated efforts of an individual over a lifetime, and comes with a prize of $15,000 and an engraved iPad to commemorate the occasion—courtesy of the Slaight Family Foundation. Past recipients include, Johnny Thompson, Ton Onosaka, Max Maven, Dr. Edwin Dawes, Juan Tamariz, Jim Steinmeyer and John Gaughan. Each of these individuals have, indeed, committed a lifetime of work to their art and craft, building and expanding the boundaries of magic.

This year, it is a joy to recognize the energizing team of Goldfinger & Dove—a pair of magicians who have built a five-decade long career in magic. They have devoted their life’s work to magic, and we are thrilled to recognize their hard work and commitment to their craft.

As you will see from the awards video, they have also inspired, and indeed, paved the way for today’s generation to evolve and thrive.
