Dorothy Dietrich gets a lifetime achievement award to a spontaneous standing ovation.
At Metro-Magic's yearly Gala VIP convention Dorothy Dietrich received the first standing ovation ever given an award winner in the history of the awards. The event filled the room with the largest crowd of the day. The response was unanimous. In giving her the award Bill Wisch called her a world-class magician and mentioned some of her unique accomplishments such as escaping from a straitjacket while suspended hundreds of feet in the air from a burning rope on an HBO special, her record breaking bullet catch, her Houdini Museum, her being featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, CBC, Travel Channel, Biography Channel, TV Land, etc. Also mentioned were her highly successful Magic Towne House in New York City, the Houdini Seances, The Psychic Theater Show and Hocus Pocus Magazine. Dorothy, in an emotional response expressed her gratitude to those magicians who helped her along the way, and continue to support her. Among those mentioned were Walter B. Gibson, Dick Brooks, Lou Lancaster, Tony Curtis, and many of the performers at The Magic Towne House, and others. She brought along a few television film clips to show the attendees. An awe inspiring event.
