I never did much TV work (well, BOZO in Chicago!) but, I bought some of his "stuff" and, it was obvious that he KNEW! SNEAKY, UNDERHANDED, DEVIOUS,& SURREPTITIOUS ITINERANT MOUNTEBANK
Rainboguy Inner circle 1915 Posts	Posted: Aug 3, 2017 06:57 am 2 Ernie was a big part of what I call the "St. Louis Cavalcade of Magicians".........part of a rich heritage of some of the gentlemen whom, to this day, I believe were some of the greatest magicians in the US. Those magicians included Bro. John Hamman, Roy Mayer, Gene DeVoe, John Mendoza, Will Lindhorst, Michael O'Dowd, Don Lawton, Bud Dietrich, Harry Monti, Dan Fleshman, James Holmes, Harold Russel, Steve Bender (Ickle Pickle), and many many more. Imagine hanging around with these guys growing up in St. Louis! I was LUCKY!!
