Julie Inner circle 3430 Posts	Posted: Dec 26, 2019 11:46 am 0 I just finished reading an exchange between Dick and myself (and others, too) as a result of some information I had been searching for. ('Sorry for ending the sentence with a preposition, Dick.) Jeez, I miss him! Julie

I saw him perform a few times. He was a school show guy forever, his book is good. GrEg oTtO MUNDUS VULT DECIPI

A generous man with a wealth of pro experience with a genuine desire to pass on his knowledge to anyone who wanted and was willing to learn. Such a shame he's no longer with us.

What do you mean you don't read? . "You cannot BUY a TRICK. TRICKS, somewhat like music, only exist while they are being PERFORMED. An EFFECT cannot be BOUGHT either. An EFFECT is what the spectator perceives. You need to read FITZKEE. --There are only nineteen EFFECTS" - Dick Oslund, 2019.

My post from the thread in "Looking After Our Own": Quote: On Jan 15, 2020, Kong wrote: I've only just now happened across this thread by chance and learnt of Dick's passing. How terribly, terribly sad. Dick was one of the first people to engage with me on this forum. He was very helpful and kind to me and he even sent me a letter containing a photocopied excerpt from his book, detailing his excellent Card To Pocket routine. He flatly refused any payment, even to cover postage, because in his words "it's a small price to pay for people to say nice things about me!". The letter, in its original envelope complete with "rabbit out of a hat" postage stamp and "Dick Oslund, Magician" rubber stamp, has stood proudly on display on my magic shelf since I received it. I shall now treasure it even more. I didn't know you for very long, Dick, but thanks. You made a big impression on me and I'll never forget you. Bon Voyage, friend. RIP.

He even mailed me his silk blow tube to keep absolutely free... I offered to pay for it or atleast cover the shipping costs and said “all I ask is that you use it.”...Dick was a tremendous wealth of knowledge. I never had the honor to meet him but always wanted to thank him in person and shake his hand. Rest In Piece 🙏 J Rodriguez J Rodriguez
