There is one heck of a magic show going on in heaven. It's a daily occurrence - however now they have a new 'emcee' - my old friend Hank Moorehouse is there to watch over the shows and make sure the acts are staying on time. He's smiling and having a good time - magic was his life. Still is...I heard he 'died' Friday - nobody ever 'dies' - only on stage.
Hank just passed on to a new stage with a new spotlight that is eternal. He is getting ready to introduce Harry, Johnsstone, Crandall, Fox and the rest of the gang.
Hank was the first 'professional' magician I ever met in 1974. I had this strange notion of putting together a magic convention in Indiana back then - I was only 14. Hank was the first to volunteer his services as emcee.
That friendship has lasted for over 37 years. He told me backstage at a Michigan Magic Day event in Ann Arbor, "Magic is my life,my hobby, my passion - I wouldn't have it any other way.."
We wouldn't either my friend....rest in peace
Now...............go break a leg
