I've been looking for years for a Canadian Flag of quality and I have found one from http://www.spectramagic.com in Montreal. They don't speak English very well, but they have a superb mis-made Canadian Flag. I'ts kind of weird, for I've had a routine made up way before I received the flag. I start by asking the audience which country has the best hockey team in the world.....And to honour our Olympic Gold Hockey Team, I'm going to make a Canadian flag in their honour. I use a Genii tube, play a few bars of "O Canada on the harmonica, and end up with a flag minus the maple leaf. I blame it on only playing a few bars of O Canada. And then I give the audience a little history about Canada's flag before the maple leaf was really a British Merchant Marine flag with a Canadian Crest, and since it's kind of British I'll use a Harry Potter sorting hat the make the flag.
When I listen to the sorting hat , it tells me to play all of God Save the Queen! I stuff in the flag, plunk it onto a child's head and proceed to play God Save the Queen. Now we end up with a reverse Canadian flag. This is not going to work. We need something truly Canadian. I take out a miniature hockey stick and a toque( really a weird-looking triple change bag from Viking Magic.) I have the kids sing O Canada while waving the stick over the bag. I finally produce a full, correct flag and then as an anti -climax ,I produce three strings of mini flags of the world which stretch out to about 36 feet. I have only performed this effect once, but I had the whole audience of kids standing and saluting while they sang our national anthem.It is really compact and plays big! Darryl the Wizard

I didn't know that commercially-made Canadian mis-made flag sets existed.
I had my own sets custom made many years ago (I made 3 sets, one for me, two for friends). I've talked about this on other threads, and have used my set in hundreds of shows. - Donald P.S. Your link doesn't seem to work. Is there a typo? (Then again, I just realized this thread is almost 4 years old!)

This appears to be a dead link. Also a search on Google does not turn up anything.

Be remembered for performing what looks like MAGIC, not skill.

Spectram Magic / Magie Spectrale is at the same place as always: http://www.spectram.com/ They seem to have several Canadian flag silks. The large mismade flag (they have a small) is said to have come from P&A: http://www.spectram.com/catalogue/index.......imite=20
I formerly ran a site of links to help Canadian magicians, magicinfo.ca, but I retired it in 2022.
