Thanks for your kind words – Arthur will indeed be sadly missed. Arthur was of course a close friend of Eddie Dawes and they shared a passion for magical history. Knowing Eddie’s (and Arthur’s) concern for historical accuracy, I should correct the date of Arthur’s passing, which was given to me in error. Arthur died on Thursday 26th January 2006, not the 25th as I reported.
