Hendoo, I recently heard that Elder Hans Weiss passed away, sometime before xmas I think. I don't know the details, but I understand his partner is looking for someone to adopt the props/act. I never had the pleasure of meeting, but since you did, I thought I'd mention it.
As for me, the last famous magician I met was Mark Wilson. His lecture at Magic, Inc was a great trip down memory lane, with several interesting stories. (Nani was there too, which was also great!) It was very nice to meet the man who really got me hooked on magic via his course. |

Hi Gordon-
I am surprised that you know of Elder Hans. BUT with a name like Meyer you perhaps have some German connections. Elder Weiss was a wonderful craftsman. The first time I meet him was back in the 80's. I was in Frankfurt, Germany on church related business. He gave a talk entitled "God's Chronometer". It was a lovely presentation about God and what he was doing to keep time. As part of his demonstration Hans manipluted little pocket watches that he himself had created. Very wonderful! Sadly he did pass in early December of 2006. I was fortunate to have seen him in October prior. His partner Strom is looking to pass on the act and props as Elder Weiss had made that a wish of his. There is also a television clip from the late 60's of Hans doing his act on a children's show. Much like the clip of Fred Kaps blowing the bubbles. Are you familiar? The production is a little psychedelic but Hans is manipulating his watches. I am trying to get a copy. If you are interested pm me. I will try to share. Magically- Mary Jane |

I've met some great guys and have had the pleasure of hanging out with them...i.e., drinks, dinner, just plain comraderie. Some that come to mind are...
Joshua Jay ( my college age daughter and Joshua became good friends and still email one another...she still thinks he's a hunk) Bill Malone (great guy. Just as funny in person as he is on his DVD's) Doc Eason (Doc would give you the shirt off his back) Glen Gerard Micheal Ammar Mark Wilson and Nani Dan Sylvester Micheal Lair Goldfinger and Dove Stuart and Lori Kevin King (a total blast) Mike Finney Jon Stetson Tom Burgoon I met all these guys when we had Houdini Days here in Wiscosnin. I performed strolling magic while they worked wonders on stage and in the close up tent. Lou

I've certainly met a lot of magicians. We have a great magic shop and Ring that brings in solid lectures. I certainly can't match a lot of the lists posted here, but talking about whom we've met, only one stands out most strongly.
Eugene Burger. Eugene was in town doing a lecture, and afterwards he and a small group of his friends were going out to dinner. I was invited to tag along. It was a real pleasure to be able to see him in action, even after a bottle of Chardonnay, and being able to ask him questions. The highlight of the evening though, when someone asked for advice on a trick he was working on, "Sometimes you have to kill the baby." |

Working with Joe Stevens of Stevens Magic Emporium, more than I can count. What was great was having Jay Marshall and John Novak take me under their wings as mentors.

I’ve met ‘em all. The good, bad and the ugly. The famous and infamous. The heros and the villans, the legands and the losers, the profeesionals as well as the pretenders. I’ve met celebrities and psychopaths. I’ve been around for a long time (ok not that long, but since 1986). I’ve seen them come and seen them go.
I’ve met millionaires, misfits, con men and priests. Liars, cheaters, frauds and phonys. I’ve met smart people and those who take the Yellow bus to school. I’ve met dopers, drunks, addicts and insomniacs. I’ve met people who stay up all night and sleep all day, as well as those who work 96 hours per week. I’ve met people who don’t even know what day it is. I’ve met rock stars, movie stars, dry cleaners, cooks, crooks, teachers, doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs. I’ve met the smartest person on the same day I met a person who I had no idea how he made it through the day. No need to name names. Until then, I look forward to meeting You, someday! Peace - |

Well... I've yet to meet myself and that's really the only person I really care to meet.
And I keep hoping that Jesus comes down to tell me that he exists.

Cool topic! I've "met" way too many to count. I'm counting meeting as "Hi, I really like your work." I've been lucky enough to hang out with some real "heavies" in a social situation. Maybe dinner, drink or just sitting down and shooting the bull. Highlights for me are...
Bowling with James Dimmare, Amazing Jonathan, and Chris Angel. (Dimmare is pretty good, Angel and A.J. cheat.) Lunch with Daryl and Al Schneider. Man, I'll never forget that. Sessioning with Alan Ackerman and Chris Kenner. (They did most of the work, I just sat and said wow. Alan insisted I do something, after I fumbled through one of my favorite routines, I got "the nod." A few months ago on my birthday, I went to New York with another magic buddy to see Eric Decamps's one man show. The guest host that night, Bill Malone! We had spoken on the phone a few times, he actually critiqued my stuff and said some nice things, but this was our first meeting in person. Pete Biro, I've been lucky enough to become friends with I'm over the last few years through WMS. Last year, I actually heckled him during a show and he loved it. Great guy. |
