Description
Effect: In the early part of 1965 my friend Don Nielsen mentioned that Don Tanner was looking for someone to take over The New Phoenix. I wrote to Tanner, saying that 1 was interested in publishing The New Phoenix through issue 400, after which I would start up a new publication. I included a copy of a magical newsletter I was then editing. Don Tanner agreed to the idea, so the final four issues of The New Phoenix were turned out from a small apartment in Yonkers, New York.
That same year my sons Ben and Peter were born. The apartment, just right for two, was too small for a family of four. We found a picture-perfect house in Tcaneck, New Jersey, and it was from an attic room in that house that The Pallbearers Review took shape.
The success of The Pallbearers Review was due in large part to luck. For one thing, there were few competing magic magazines at the time. For another, I was lucky to get such good material so early in the game from people who had never heard of me. Thus, when I asked Lu Brent if he might contribute a trick, he replied, “Your name doesn’t exactly ring a bell, but here is something you might be able to use.” The trick was his famous locked deck routine, copied and marketed around the world since its appearance in the second issue of The Pallbearers Review.
My son Neal was born in 1970, followed by more good fortune when a subscriber named Joseph K. Schmidt sent a rope trick, to which he had appended expert illustrations. At the time I was trying to figure a way to run longer routines that needed extensive illustration. Joe agreed to do the illustrations for a cup and ball routine called “Canterbury Cups.” From that point on, his beautiful artwork became an integral part of The Pallbearers Review.
I knew from the beginning that this publication would run ten volumes, and wanted to note this fact with hidden messages. With the start of volume 6,
The Pallbearers Review had completed half the planned number of issues, so it seemed a good place to drop in a coded message. If you turn to page 372 and jot down the initial letter of each of the first seven paragraphs, you will have the sequence Y-A-W-F-L-A-H. Reverse the letters to get HALF WAY.
The Pallbearers Review was a large part of my magical life. I would like to thank Louis Falanga and L & L Publishing for bringing it back into the spotlight with a high quality bound edition for a new generation of readers.
