What Magician & Magic Collector

"I myself love magic, so for me to be here tonight is quite a privilege,
to be in the resting place of Howard Thurston. I also have here, lets see,
is he around, my good friend, yes, Rory Feldman, from New York City. This
guy is probably the world’s foremost collector of Howard Thurston
memorabilia, as well as probably the world’s greatest student of Howard
Thurston himself. So its a real privilege to have Rory Feldman here. I’m
going to speak about him after the show because I want you all to know a
little bit more about him" |

"Seriously
folks, it has really been a tremendous honor to be here with you all
tonight to do magic, in Howard Thurston’s mausoleum and I know there’s
many other people that are buried here, but of course for Rory and
myself, who Thurston inspired. Me, even as a youngster, even as a
teenager, I knew about Howard Thurston because he was like a David
Copperfield in his day. He was the king, he was the magic god. Our
society really viewed him like we view our movie stars. He was at the
top, the pinnacle of the entertainment world and of entertainment
success. And so, to be here tonight is a true privilege and honor.
And what I would like to do, is have each and everyone of you walk out
of here with one of these cards, because you can go to Rory Feldman’s
web-site that Rory has painstakingly put together over the years.
And you can see some incredible memorabilia, as well as ephemera, that
were not only associated with Howard Thurston but actually belonged to
Howard Thurston. He has a number of things that actually belonged to
Thurston himself and there are a lot of other interesting things that
are there." |

"And the other thing that we've been talking about, not only to one
another, but to Janice, your fine host tonight, because this abbey has
been in a little bit of disrepair. We are talking about setting up a
non-profit foundation to raise funds to up-keep the abbey and so I think
through the site (www.ThurstonMasterMagician.com)
we're going to attempt to do that." |
