A Conjurer's Legacy Lives On

My magic family mourns the loss of one of our favorite bothers today. I did not have the opportunity to get to know him well, though the influence of his genius and generosity can be seen throughout the work of many (most) of my colleagues. I just saw Daryl Easton perform, days ago, at the Academy of Magical Arts clubhouse and our second home, The Magic Castle. Renown, beloved and busy, Daryl's inner demons were still too much for him and he chose to take his own life, last night, at The Magic Castle.

There is little I can do to improve the situation. I can send all my love to Daryl's family and to my magical family and Daryl's many many worldwide fans. I can remind myself and others that Daryl's incredible legacy as a person and performer will live on and grow and expand as old pros and new hands (like myself) learn and hone the skills he has perfected and shared. I can continue to be kind to everyone, everyday...All. The. Time. It is impossible to know what any one individual might be going through and kindness is such an easy thing to share. 

If you need me, call on me. I'm here and I'll be here for you. I have boundless love and energy to care for and commune with my magic family, my American family, my worldwide family. We are all the same. Let's love one another.
