What sad news to wake up to. Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends.
Ali Bongo was an unofficial Ambassador of Magic around the world. Everyone knew him and had a story about him. Our paths had crossed many times though the years. I sat with his mother many years ago when he performed at an S.A.M. convention in Boston. She was so proud of him. I did an in-depth interview with him for the SAM Media Library at the convention in St Louis. When we finished the interview, we continued speaking for the next two hours. When I performed my lecture at the Circle last year, I was honored to have Ali introduce me. Although he is basically a shy man, he has inspired many and as the president of The Magic Circle, he fulfilled a lifetime dream. Rest in Peace, my friend. You will be missed but fondly remembered.

Rest in peace dear friend. The King of Pongolia is gone.
Ali always had such information and little twists that he would share in our all tobrief conversations. Every contact with him was always a joy. My sympathies to his family and friends who have been caring so lovingly for him. I just heard a quote in reference to the recently departed Paul Harvey. I think it is very appropriate for All. "Another Great Tree has fallen". He truely was one of the great trees and the lumber on which the art of magic has been built for many years. RIP Richard

I love the cover of M.U.M. with the pic of Ali Bongo. I'll treasure that issue for a long time. May he rest in peace.
