Does anybody here know when Al Goshman died---and of what cause? Also, does anyone have any information on Steven Goshman, his son that took over? Any general information about his family would be good to. Surprisingly, I couldn't find this stuff on the Internet, so I'm counting on you knowledgeable folks here.

Thanks,

Albert had stomach cancer. I don't recall the date and know little of his son. Goshman's wife is still around and seen once in awhile at magic events.

Perhaps you will get more answers if you give us the reasons why you are so interested.

Ah! Sorry. I'm a writer and magician, and I'm writing a full-length poetry series. The protagonist is a fifteen year old girl, and the sponge bunny has a lot of nostalgic and sentimental meaning for her. She goes to a convention and he's demo-ing it, but then I realized I wanted it to take place in present day, so I didn't know how recently it was that I could still have him or his wife, son, etc. The background information and even the names probably won't be in the actual poems, but a clearer chronological picture will help in turn of painting a picture for my reader. For example, she's the daughter of a magician, so if I use Steven, I can play on the "son of" and the "daughter of" thing. I hope this all makes sense, and if you can't tell me something I understand. Also, feel free to PM. Thanks for the information above and anything else you can give me!

Thanks,
