As most of you know, Ulf Bolling - Borodin was like a brother to me. He had been a fisherman, a pharmacist, a successful composer and singer (with the name Ulf Barbas), and had actually conducted some symphonic performances.
In 2000, he was named the Magic Author of the year by the Magic Circle of Germany -- a well-deserved title. He will be buried June 2, 2010 in Bamberg, Germany.

Update. There will be a funeral for Ulf on June 2, in Bayreuth. That is the location of the famous Wagner opera house.

He will be sorely missed. I knew him only through his books, but I wish I could have known him in person.

On Monday, June 28, 2010, I performed a Broken Wand Service for Borodin at the monthly meeting of IBM Ring 39. Ulf had been a member of the IBM, so we felt this was the most fitting place for such a ceremony.
My friend, Eugene Protas, recorded the ceremony and has put a video of it on YouTube. Between my mumbling and the bad acoustics of the room, I do not sound very clear. However, if you wish to see this, you can find it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmlNF8JjgUs Also, there is a memorial web site for Ulf at http://www.ulfbolling-borodin.com .

I second that!
Only recently my good friend and mentor the Curator strongly advised me to get a rare copy of the Final Curtain (I had only known Borodin from name). He was right: the wealth, craftmanship and beauty of Borodin's work is astonishing. Alas, his is a kind of bizarre magic that's dying out, only very few magicians have that kind of creative genious that marries technique, storytelling and intelligence into that wonderful true magic. So thank you Mr Palmer, to have so honorably and touchingly remembered him.

The Broken Wand Service is as lovely a commemorative as any I've ever seen. Well done, Bill.
Pleased to continue finding that all the world's a stage.
