Dean Dill, one of the most creative guys in magic passed away the morning of Feb. 7, 2015 from cancer. Dean was one of the nicest most generous people I have ever known. Goodby bro.

Keep Dean's family in your prayers; our condolences to his family and friends in our community. He truly has left a positive impact on so many; as a teacher, role model, witness for his faith, and effervescent creator of innovative effects and routines. He will be missed.

This update was just posted on Dean's Shoppe Facebook page this afternoon: "Okay, so you all know how humble Dean Dill was. He doesn't want a funeral, doesn't want a casket, doesn't want a fuss. He's getting cremated and that'll be that. But. Because of the intensity of our feelings for him and the fact that the Shoppe is such a special place to us, I've arranged one last day at the Shoppe.
So. Next Saturday, February 21st, I'm opening up Dean's Shoppe for one last time. I figure we'll start at around 1 and go until 6. Come and take pictures, eat pizza, and reminisce."
