I was saddened to learn from Sheldon Rhodes that longtime FCM member Paul "Hoby Tyler" Ricksecker has passed away. I heard Paul lecture many times over the years at various FCM conventions- always had new ideas and very generous in sharing them. He was a hoot in his knowledgeable assistance at FCM magic auctions, a very experienced clown and Gospel magician. Paul held the title of "The World's Fastest Magician" by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Paul's funeral is this Saturday, January 6, 2018, 3pm, at Findlay First Church of the Nazarene in Findlay, Ohio. Full obituary information can be viewed at www.coldrencrates.com Our sympathy to Barb and the entire family.

Thank you for sharing this double edged news - we are sad for ourselves but we should rejoice that he is now with Christ.
