Does anyone know of a video of Allan Hayden performing his Linking Ring routine? I have his book already. I heard he does his routine in a funny manner.

Never found a video of Allan Hayden, including his linking ring routine. When it came out, it got raves in all the magazines. I would imagine the cover photo no longer looks like him.

Thanks Bill.

I just called Allan on the phone

He said No. No video. No video ever. And don't ask again.

I guess he really means it.

Dang! That's pretty assertive and clear! And just think he could make a small fortune if he made and sold his routine on DVD. He'd make...I don't know...maybe as much as twelve dollars and forty-five cents. I did say small fortune.

Really his booklet is pretty clear.

You have a lot of balls, Harry

You are right, he does seem mean.

Well, some people just cannot look at themselves on video.
So it would be impossible to know when it was ready for publication.

The only place I seen the routine was Daytona Magic and it is no longer available on their website.

Magic Inc. says it is still available from them.

Allan doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's very funny to watch - And when he's actually performing a show, he's even funnier

Right, he is a wonderful performer. Just, IMHO, doesn't want a video out there for fools to steal his presentations.

Allan is a wonderful person, and a true artist--one of the most interesting performers to watch that I can think of--always on the edge and yet in control.

Allan matriculated at the Eddie Fechter School of Magic at the Forks Hotel here in Buffalo NY, along with many other well and not so well known magi such as the late Michael Skinner, the Gallos father and son, the late Ray Mertz, Bill Okal, Harrison Carroll, and Vic Trabucco, all of whom I am proud to call my friends, or friendly acquaintances, some of whom may even remember me.
