I loved Bob, I didn't know him personally, he answered me on the Café a few times, which was amazing for me, could anyone please share some stories about him performing or something? I would love to hear some, thank you.

I fondly recall a nice letter he sent me when I was last in Afghanistan (2010.)
I didn't know him well, and he didn't have to take the time to write that...but it was greatly appreciated. Bryn

Me and Bob would sometimes email back and forth over silly stuff.. What we were drinking or smoking, reading etc... Sometimes he'd tell me stories about other mentalists... Even people on the Café who name dropped him but he'd often say"yeah I don't know who the hell that is!"
Don't take that as me and him were close friends, we weren't, but used to have the occasional fun chat... I liked those moments the best over the advice I'd get on things I used to send him... Ford Kross stories were always fun...

I knew him enough to visit with him a number of times at MINDventions.
He had many friends. Long term, Rum was not one of them. George |

I met Bob when I first came to the Café. He was one of the first to respond to a newbie question I'd posed. He patiently answered my question.
A little later when I got excited about mentalism, he exchanged dozens of emails with me to point me to resources he thought were important for my development as a performer. I was at MV one year and I heard this growling voice behind me: "So YOU'RE David Thiel. Let's get a drink." That afternoon...and evening was a life changer. I learned SO much from him that night and throughout the years that followed. I nearly threw up when I realized that Bob Cassidy was talking to ME...but that afternoon sparked a relationship that started off as mentor/student and finally bloomed into a friendship. Bob had a love for booze, pot...and mentalism. He was the most genuinely brilliant mind I've ever met. He could disappear for months at a time and then pop up again. Sometimes he was in trouble, sometimes he was just fine. He could be angry or gracious. I know that a fellow mentalist designed a tarot deck with famous performers in the roles of the tarot cards. That he chose Bob for The Hanged Man shows he knew him well. When he was in the hospital near the end, we had a number of conversations and he always came back, somehow, to mentalism and how much he cared that it be done by people who care about it. I talked with him on the day before he passed and he was very weak...but he was still a man in love with mentalism. He was one of my "Most Unforgettable People." I miss talking to him. David

I remember chatting with him on his forum about 4DT. I had mentioned to him about a subtle move that I thought he had made on purpose during the routine. He told me that he hadn't even realised that he had done it, in fact it was a mistake, but he was going to include it from then on. I was happy to know that I had indirectly influenced him to change up his signature routine.
I learned a lot from him.

The only time I ever met him was at a Mindvention years ago in Las Vegas, and was fortunate enough to have several conversations with him. I enjoyed a few drinks with him each night down in the Pub after the days' sessions. A small gathering of people would be there and he'd just share stories and answer questions. I loved the fact that he just seemed to carry himself as "one of the guys." None of this "gather around while I impart my wisdom" pretentious BS. He made me feel like I was a close friend, even though we had only just met. I wish I had made a point to have met him earlier in life and spent more time with him.

I came across his Mental Miracles DVD while I was in the U.K and just starting out. I ordered his e-books, and got to meet him at the magic castle on 2012-13. A signed billet and blindfold that he was selling were given to me. I was flumixed at his cabaret show, I knew the routine with the 4D telepethy, knew where the billet switch was "supposed" to come, but even with my "eagle eyes" peeled, missed that switch. As I should have.
He was generous with his time with me that night. I have to say that his materials were/are the foundation of my love for mentalism. He was "clean" with the effects. The "props" were stuff that a $20.00 bill could by at Office Depot/Staples. His talent was one-of-a-kind. I miss him. |
