Recently
we were notified by Dennis Schick, the editor of the Broken Wand in the
International Brotherhood of Magician's magazine, The Linking Ring, of
the passing of Andrew Philip.
Dennis is graciously allowing me to pass this on to you.
Dennis also pointed out that the more ALL of us share news and
information about magic with the REST of us, the better off the entire
magic community will be.
I take this opportunity to ask you to not just ASSUME that we already
know about some magic news that YOU hear about. Please tell us about it.
We would always rather hear some news SEVERAL times rather than not
at all!

Andrew
(Andy) William Philip, 50, of Unionville, Ontario, Canada, died
February 16, 2013. He was a former member of the I.B.M. (1986-2000). A
high school math teacher introduced him to magic, and they became
life-long friends. Although diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease as a
teenager, he was never without cards and coins everywhere he went. He
was a finance manager at I.B.M. Canada for seventeen years until his
health prevented him from working any longer. With magic he was obsessed
with presentation and crafting scripts, and he loved performing for
children, especially at the family cottage in Port Elgin. Survivors
include his wife of twenty-four years, Kim, and their children David and
Danielle.
