Monday, May 21st...7:00pm...and it's free!
Place: College Park Baptist Church, Edgewater Drive, Orlando
In recognition of three of Orlando's early days of magic.
- Don Masters (the Dai Vernon of Central Florida)
- Harry Wise (early television's Mr. Magic & Spook show star)
- Lee Bernard (early magic enthusist)
We don't see many of these guys much any more so come and listen to their stories of what magic was like in Orlando in the 1950's & 60's. Lots of fun stories to hear we promise.Did you know that Don Masters worked for Burling Hull?!?!
Did you know that IBM Ring 170 used to be called FAME?...and that Harry Wise (along with Burling Hull) was the one who came up with the name in 1958...when FAME was a club all its own?
Did you know that Club Juana (Casselberry strip club) had magicians and other acts perform there and that Lee Bernard was the manager?
We will have some photo's, scrape books, posters and who know what else there to see. This is not a show but a fun two hours of talk show format of Orlando's early days of magic with great stories to hear from our three "stars of the evening" who need to be recognised.Don't miss it....and bring your camera. Please forward this to all of your local magic friends who might be interested in this history. Or better still, email this to all on your (local) magic address book.
See you there.
