Ok I know this may be an odd question, but here goes. I know that Gacy was a clown and got many of his victims with a trick handcuff/magic trick ruse... but was Gacy a member of IBM or SAM? was he a magician along with clown? I know the two aren't inclusive but if any magician/serial killer buffs out the know the answer itd be an interesting contemplative point that the most prolific mass murderer of our times could do a mean cups and balls routine.

I was told that he did indeed perform magic in his act. Ask some of the Chicago magic store guys. They might have a story or two.

He had to qualify as the scariest looking clown outside of "The Insane Clown Posse." yipes, just yipes.

The best trick he ever did was to get caught and disappear!

I disagree Iven. The best trick he did was the one where he rode a bolt of lightning. Unfortunately, he could only do it once. I, on the other hand, had TWO drinks to celebrate it.

Lol do you think the did a "broken wand" for him in the linking ring?
Btw there was a show about him that I caught last nite on AE and it mentioned he did "magic tricks" in his birthday shows... freak.

They should break his "wand" and feed it to the lions.
