Hi everyone, I am delighted to have found this very interesting site. I was a Tour Operator for over 22 years taking groups to Hollywood and Las Vegas to "meet the stars" but am now retired.
] As a hobby I give talks about "the Golden Years of Hollywood" to local clubs and societies here in the U.K. (I usually include a couple of tricks in my presentation to keep the audiences baffled!!). I was for many years a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and have now recently applied to rejoin. I attended many of their Conventions when I lived in Eastbourne. I was also a magician member of the famous MAGIC CASTLE in Hollywood and spent many happy hours there with the local magicians. My other interests include the classic Hollywood films (and stars) of the 40s and 50s and the U.K. variety acts of that era as I worked backstage in several U.K. theatres during that time. I was lucky to work with many magicians including The Great Lyle, John Calvert, Tommy Cooper, Kalanag, Chefalo, Maurice Fogel, Deveen and his New York Blondes, Alan Alan, Lester Sharpe and Iris, Eric Mason, Jasper Maskelyne, Verdini, Kardoma, Sirdani, Shek Ben Ali, The Piddingtons, Al Carthy and his mechanical man and too many others to list here.

Welcome to the Café! I hope you'll take a look at my Brief Biographies of Magic Inventors and see if you can help me out with some information I am missing about some of them. For example, I have no dates for Alan Alan and not much else about him, either.
