First, I want to say I spoke with Julie a couple of days ago and it seems Steve is doing well in physical therapy and there is hope he can return home soon, depending on his rate of progress. She also expressed heartfelt thanks to those who have contributed to the effort to help with the storage unit issues, financially or otherwise.
Earlier this week, two family friends of the Bakers came to California and I joined them at the storage units to help load a U-Haul truck which they are driving back to Illinois. If you have checked out Steve's website recently, you know of this plan. One of those family friends is Theresa, you have seen her name mentioned earlier in this thread. We spent a day moving boxes into the truck and packing as efficiently as we could. This was not an attempt to inventory the contents of these units, the goal was to get the stuff transported back to Julie and Steve so they can make use of it how they see fit. That being said, I would like to assure everyone who has expressed curiosity about the contents that there was a mixture of stuff ranging from tools and equipment Steve used to manufacture props and gear for himself and other performers to personal memorabilia to appliances and household items. As far as the escape community goes, I can assure you that this effort will return to Julie and Steve publicity materials and clippings and some magic items which have been stored in those units for the last few years. (This should not be surprising to anyone, Steve has always been upfront about this stuff being in the units.) There have been numerous things expressed in this thread, all I am going to say, as an escape and magic fan, is that I am glad this stuff is getting transported to Julie and Steve's home where they can deal with it easier than if it were to remain in storage indefinitely. Being that I helped load the truck, and ended up helping to repack a few boxes for efficiency and space reasons, I can say the units were not a scam, they did exist, as I stated much earlier in this thread because I already knew that they existed. I believe you can check on Steve's website for more updates in the near future. http://mrescape.com I wish Julie and Steve all the best. Russell

Thank you so much Russell for doing that. I am so sorry I could not be there. Thanks also for the detailed report on what you did. Thankfully this chapter can now be put behind us.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |
