Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to my fringe tour. It's cancelled due to a re-injury. Maybe another time. 😞

Broken wand: Richard Sequens

From Dennis Schick, of the International Brotherhood of Magician's magazine, The Linking Ring.

From Reynars:

Richard Sequens, a long time resident of Dawson Creek, B.C. passed away on Monday, November 10, 2014 in Dawson Creek, at the age of 73 years. 

... 

Dick was a fabulous entertainer with his magic shows, card tricks, and coin tricks. He entertained children and adults alike. He travelled all over B.C. doing magic shows for ICBC, banks, children's functions and birthday parties. Dick also loved the outdoors; hunting, fishing, boating, quading and just being out and about. He was also very active with home renovations and yard projects, until failing health slowed him down in September 2013.
