Billy McComb was a legend in magic and perhaps one of the most renowned historians of the magical arts. I'm sorry to say that Billy passed away on April 30th of 2006. His magic will be missed.

Max Maven is a true champion of the art of magic. He is a mentalist beyond compare. His voice is so low and hypnotic that he makes you believe that he has strange mental abilities.

Michael Finney is a very funny guy and a wonderful magic performer. Though he never really does great amazing magic tricks, his humor will sleigh you. You should make an extra effort to catch his show whenever you can.

Kevin James created many wonderful routines and magic for stage and close-up. He also has a great web page and has even read my book. That puts him high on my list of GREAT Magicians.

I had the pleasure of visiting with Tony Spina, owner of Tannen's Magic Shop in New York City. Of course, I'd spent several hundred dollars by the time I'd left. (Besides being a wonderful magician, he is also a great salesman.)Tony is a terrific guy and wanted me to see his picture when he was young and good looking. I, of course, told him that I used to be young and good looking at one time too. But then, what does that do for me today?

I've seen Chad Long perform magic and always enjoy this close-up magician with his warped sense of humor.
