MILT LARSEN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Great article in The Washington Times
on Milt Larsen.
Milt discusses his youth and having some
of the most famous magicians in the
world at his house. His father was a very
good lawyer who handled Mrs. Houdini’s
estate after Houdini died.
My favourite question in the article is this
one:
Q: Will The Magic Castle always exist?
A: There will be magic forever because
magic is simply imagination. As long
as people can dream of things that
are impossible, there will always be
somebody who can do it. As long as you
can think of something that has never
been done and have someone do it,
that’s magic.

THE PASSING OF
GRAHAM REED
my personal appreciation is even
more elevated, I knew him so well
for so long, in all his enthusiastic
and varied incarnations, Graham the
top ideas man, Graham the public
speaker, Graham the artist, Graham
the professional sales trainer, Graham
the activist, especially in regard his
umbrage relative to the pettifoggery
of local Council officialdom and select
Traffic Wardens, letters would be sent,
newspapers contacted, cages rattled,
all to good effect, I once dubbed him,
in jest, the Victor Meldrew of St.Albans,
which he liked enormously. But there
was always a valid and moral viewpoint
underpinning his stance. Simply put,
he was the best of men, a friend to
so many, and that by my reckoning is
immeasurable.
The Measure of A Man
Magician, Author, actor and friend to many Graham Reed.
Barry Murray.
Graham Reed was a writer, magician and actor, known for The Paul Daniels Magic Show
(1979), Unarmed But Dangerous (2009) and How'd You Get So Rich? (2009).
The Measure of a Man.
There are many definitions of that telling phrase, mine is both objective and subjective. The
outpouring of sadness on news of Graham's passing from, not just the magic community
but all who knew him in life is a clear objective measure of appreciation. Subjectively,
