Gazzo had a major stroke . If you can pitch in a couple of bucks he really needs it. |

Any amount helps. He has a long road to recovery. Pitch in!

If everyone on the Café gave even 5.00, it would sit add up fast.

How has this not met its funding goal yet?
Gazzo has inspired THOUSANDS of magicians worldwide, and entertained MILLIONS, and yet we can't even raise $45k to aid him in his time of need ?!?! Come on, magic community... Step up and help one of our greatest brothers when he is in his darkest hour! PLEASE!

Penguin Magic is offering Gazzo's"Black Bag Show" new instructional video by Gazzo for $50. All the money goes to Gazzo:

I got an email from the gofundme campaign manager saying that Gazzo is making progress and is able to walk with assistance, and there is hope that he may be able to perform again someday. I believe it said he was back in England for this recovery time (no longer in Florida), but I seem to have deleted the email.
Sadly, and much to the dishonor of our magic community, the stroke recovery gofundme campaign couldn't manage to raise the 45k in the allotted time, although it DID raise 40k. This money will certainly help Gazzo financially while he isn't working, or, y'know... functioning at all... I have no details, but I've heard the Penguin "black bag show" fundraiser made some money too. There is an update on the gofundme site as of the 16th of July, thanking everyone for all of the support and giving some of the info I just shared as well.

I really wish performers of all kinds would use this as a cautionary tale.
These things DO happen. Set up a business in such a way as to have insurance and savings and things in place to lessen the blow should it happen. More than the tricks we do I wish our community would focus on issues like this. These things are terrible when they happen. As was said Gazzo was an inspiration to many. I wish him the best.

I just heard he had some more health problems, any update?

gaddy Inner circle Agent of Chaos 3555 Posts |
He had a heart attack. I've heard he's doing about as well as possible, given the situation. He's out of immediate danger, anyhow.
