Broken wand: John McLachlan

We were just informed of the recent passing of former Reverend, psychologist, and magician, John McLachlan.

We will update this post as more information becomes available. 

Our sincere condolences to John's family and friends at this difficult time. 

 

From the January 6th Facebook post by Matt DiSero:

Heartbroken to hear we lost John McLachlan. I haven’t seen him since I lived in the annex area of Toronto, when I’d often go over to his condo for his magic meetings and drinks. So kind and generous. When I was in grade 9 doing magic I didn’t really hang with any magicians save for Dennis Rosso here in Brampton. I’d managed to get a gig at Ruben and Wongs and John came in one night and seemed to take an interest in what I was doing with the magic. He’d often invite me to Brampton hospital where he worked as a psychologist and he’d show me old magic effects and tell me stories of the 4F magic convention, where the best magicians gathered, all tbat in his cool office in the hospital. He regularly lent me books and props and he was a real influence early on. Always supportive and seemed especially happy when I decided to do magic full time. John was one of the good guys, the best of the older crew that always liked to help out, and help me.   

Man, I greatly lament not seeing him more often of recent times. A failing on my part. A reminder that we all should stay in touch with people, especially as they get older.
RIP John, and thank you for all the help and encouragement along the way, early on, when it was needed most.

From the November 17th Facebook post by Brent Smith:

My Dear long friend and teacher past away Micky Hades. He was 98 and a giant among mere mortals and for the people who never took the time to know him don’t know what the magic communtiy just lost. I’m not in shock but saddened …. damn I’ll miss the stories this guy had . He did more for magic than most people ever will … Including me

 

 

 

From the November 17th Facebook post by Scott McClelland:

Today, one of the most important people in Magic passed away. The Great Micky Hades.

Micky Hades was an innovator in magic, creating new and exciting ideas in illusion and mentalism. He built Reveen's Illusion Show and also some of Doug Hennings magic seen on TV.

Apart from that, Micky Hades had the largest publishing company of Mentalism books in the world. And he mentored some of the finest magicians in the country, including Dale Harney, Murray Hatfield and John Kaplan.

I was introduced to Micky at the 1977 International Brotherhood of Magicians Convention by my grandfather. 2 years later, I got my first job collating and printing many of Micky's publications. When I was 17 he asked me to illustrate two books for him, on a book on Key Bending and another a Magic Illusion catalogue.

Micky also wrote articles in the Linking Ring Magazine (a magic magazine) and had his own special periodical called the Hade-Gram.

One of the things back in the 70's and 80's all the magicians looked forward to was the Micky Hades Fun and Film Festival.

Micky was one of the most influential magicians in the magic community and a great supporter of new upcoming talent.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Micky for over 45 years and my life has been enriched with his wonderful friendship and knowledge, a true Showman and Magi and someone I will never forget.

I love you Micky like a grandfather, and I am so glad that we lived in the same time period of history to know each other, you will be missed.

Rest now Micky, fore you worked every day of your life. 

An inspiration to us all.

The magic world mourns the loss today, of Winnipeg's Dr. Joe Kaufert. I'm still in shock and saddened by his loss. With his quick wit and a glint in his eye, I'm sure that he's still performing his Chinese Sticks, Flexible Mirror, and Inexhaustible Salt Pour on that Great Stage in the sky.

From the September 9th Edmonton Journal:

CHAMBERLAIN, Charles Robert "Chas"
also known as JON CHARLES, Magician
1936-2023

Chas was born and raised in London, England. He took courses on time and motion study which eventually led him to a job at Westminster Hospital. This training and experience allowed him to emigrate to Canada in 1967 with then wife, Barbara, and their three young children, Martin, Andrew and Katherine, to take a position at the University of Alberta Hospital. He worked there in senior management until 1985. Throughout his life he pursued his personal passion, magic. He performed professionally as Jon Charles. As well as performing countless shows throughout Alberta, Jon entertained Canadian Armed Services troops stationed in such places as the Middle East, Cyprus and Alert, Nunavut. For many years Jon worked at the downtown Japanese Village restaurant, performing close up table magic for patrons. That is where he met his second wife, Sueno, and they were happily married in 2005.

Chas is survived by his wife, Sueno; brother, Rodney (Freda); son, Martin (Connie); daughter, Katherine (Alistair); daughter-in-law, Laurie; and his grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his son, Andrew; and his parents, Charles and Katherine.

A private interment will be held at a later date.

Chas loved teaching magic to young magicians. A donation of a magic book or magic kit to Santa's Anonymous this Christmas would be a lovely tribute.To send condolences, please visit www.fostermcgarvey.com.

Updated at 9:20am to add:

  • From the April 23rd article "Magician Paul Kilshaw, who performed for royals, dies at 60" by Roxanne Egan-Elliott at the Times Colonist:
    Kilshaw died Wednesday [April 19] after suffering a heart attack, his sister Catherine Dempsey said from her home in Newfoundland.

    He was born on Aug. 4, 1962, in Grostenquin, France, where his father, who was in the air force, was stationed. The youngest of four, Kilshaw moved with his family to Ottawa then to Victoria when he was about six.

    The family lived near Willows Beach and it was there that a young Kilshaw met a magician who started teaching him sleight of hand, Dempsey said.

    “For the first few years, we sort of ignored him. You know, it was just a little boy doing stuff and then it kept on and the next thing we knew he was getting good,” Dempsey said.

    Kilshaw worked at Tony’s Trick and Joke Shop, which has since closed, honing his craft.

From the April 21st article "‘He was a gift’: Greater Victoria mourns loss of popular balloon, magic man" by Christine Vanreeuwy at the Vancouver Island Free Daily:

A familiar face with a fandom at any event he attended – pretty much all of them whether he was working or not – Kilshaw wowed Greater Victoria crowds for more than three decades

“We lost a great man. He was a gift,” said friend Kelly Kurta, also the executive director of the Greater Victoria Festival Society. “Paul was an in-person kind of guy. He’d show up at an event even just to say hello.”

Kilshaw caught the magic bug as a child and spent years honing the craft, travelling far and wide to study with the masters in this art.

Fondly called Paulie, Kilshaw was known for magic and balloons and was always looking for some new twist.

Our sincere condolences to Brydon's family and friends.  Our thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. 

 

From the Globe and Mail:

February 1, 1938 - July 19, 2022

Smith was honoured in 2014 with a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts for his extraordinary contribution to the visual arts in Canada. Accomplished magician, generous and fun-loving host, eco-warrior, inventor of the Samuel Beckett Martini, margarita-maker par excellence, Brydon will live on in our memories not only for having made a lasting contribution to the arts in Canada and abroad but as a lover of life to its fullest. Donations may be made in his name to: The Canadian Wildlife Federation, The Alzheimer Society of Canada Research branch or the Dementia Society, Ottawa Renfrew. Celebrations of Brydon's life will be held in the coming months.

From Paperman and Sons:

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Frank on Monday, July 5th, 2021. Jack and his partner Rosaline had a loving relationship for thirty-five years. Predeceased by his wife, Aggie (née Fine), Jack leaves behind his son, Joseph (Cyra), grandsons, Jordan (Gina) and Shaun, great-granddaughters, Charlotte and Zoe, and his brother Dave (Judy).

As a young man, Jack became interested in magic after seeing Houdini perform, and his interest became a profession. He performed at resorts from the Catskills to the Laurentians, aboard cruise ships, and for many charity events, but saved his best performances for his grandsons’ birthday parties. His love of skiing led to his becoming a member of the Canadian Ski Patrol, which took him to the mountains around the world.

From the July 3rd Facebook post by Paul Bagley:

Papa Rick's Obituary

Rick Poltaruk  April 20th 1951 – June 23rd, 2021

It is with mixed emotions we say farewell to Rick Poltaruk who succumbed to Lymphedema on June 23rd 2021, in Calgary Alberta.

Rick is survived by his mother Helga, daughter Shawna along with three grand children, brother Randy (Bonnie) niece Marinna (Kevin), and nephew Ryan (Mara).

Rick, a pastor, musician, magician, comedian and actor was well known as an entertainer living in Yellowknife, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg, showcased his talents everywhere he found himself, and left his mark, many of us can only imagine

Rick, a devote Christian, found solitude in faith, loved life and dedicated himself to others through his talents. As a Pastor, working with the Mustard Seed bestowing himself to help the homeless became the only accomplishment he truly valued.

Rick’s life was his joy, pride and pleasure - to miss him is an understatement. Our grateful heart will treasure memories we share, and his legacy will live on through the music we sing and the stories we tell. May he walk beside us every day.

Donations would be appreciated to the Mustard Seed of Calgary Alberta.

Broken wand: Henri Abdulovski

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Henri Abdulovski.  We will miss Henri's kindness, friendship, and his ever-present smile.

Our sincere condolences to Henri's family and friends.

--

From Gordon Precious:

Our gentle, kind confrere, Henri Abdulovski, died in Etobicoke General Hospital on May 4, 2021. Henri suffered a serious stroke at home just over one week ago, from which he never recovered full consciousness.

Henri was born in Macedonia on April 10, 1942.

In his teens and early twenties, Henri became an outstanding guitarist and member of a band that toured Europe.

Henri moved to Paris, France in his 20s, where he learned his trade as a top coiffeur of women and men – and he also learned the French language.

In 1968 Henri moved to Quebec City, where he was “bitten by the Magic Bug”. In a short time, he was engaged by a Quebec TV station to perform a weekly magic show. His best friend in Quebec was Gary Ouellet, the prominent Canadian lawyer who was world-renowned for his contribution to magic and TV magic shows by great magicians.

Henry met and married his wife in Quebec and they moved to Toronto in 1978. Henri opened a fine women’s and men’s hair salon which became very successful. He had a lovely home built and he and his wife raised two lovely children.

Henri was a long-term member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and was proud to be a member of the Order of Merlin.

Henri loved attending magic conventions all over North America - but his favourite of all was the annual MAWNY at Batavia, N.Y.

Henri was also a good friend of Ken Klosterman, and was more than once a guest of Klosterman at his estates and famous magic collection (Klosterman bought several of Henri’s own magic collection).

Henri was a regular attendee of Toronto’s IBM Ring 17, the Sid Lorraine Hat & Rabbit Club and for years sold the lottery tickets for the club during intermission.

Henri’s wife died several years ago but he is survived by his daughter, son and grandson.

Henri had made arrangements for his body to be given to the Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, University of Toronto, for medical research.

Henri loved magic to the very end – he practiced old and new effects every day and loved to show them to customers and staff of his local coffee shop, and to his clique of local magician friends.

Henri will be sorrowfully missed by his many friends in magic.

Thank you Gordon, for sharing this beautiful write-up about Henri's magical life.
