The Honolulu Advertiser reported on the the passing of Dr. Terry Chen Yi Wong a noted physician with a specialty in adult diabetes and a great love for magic. He was known in Hawaii for his willingess to show a trick at the drop of a hat and literally carried tricks with him at all time. The paper reported, “He manufactured and sold magic tricks to dealers throughout the country, and collected old magic apparatus that he scattered about the house, and constantly tinkered with. His wife said he always carried a trick in his pocket ‘just in case the opportunity to perform ever arose.’”
Our prayers are with his wife, Kathleen; his four children; his brother, Ronald, and his sister, Jean.
First of all, thank you to all of you who have stuck with us over the last couple of weeks as we migrated once again to a new web server and rewrote the code to go from a "blog" to a full-service, web presence. We sold the old truck and even got rid of the tent from the old Red Circuit show to pay some developers to write and re-write the code until it seemed to come pretty close to accurate. I am sure, like my uncle's beard, we're going to find some bugs but hopefully they'll be dead and easily removed with scissors. On the new site we've got some new stuff — hence the name, "new site." We've got the calendar (not new); the classifieds where you can sell, trade or meet people; the bulletin board, The insidemagic.com Lounge; and the guestbook (sort of new). The Lounge is going to be very cool. Unlike some of the magic bulletin board systems out there, we don't have many set categories that you mush fit you comments or thoughts within. In fact, I think there is just four or five right now, but by registering, you can set up any magic-related category you choose. It is such an honor to have Ed as our guest columnist for the new site. His work brings magic together with the poetry that is created by and during the performance and watching of magic. Let us know what bugs you find and we'll get right on it with some scissors and tweezers.
