I always looked forward to Friday nights at the Magic Castle with Neil and Larry Jennings. We would sit at the main bar and have a great time trying to out do each other.. Larry would always win. Neil used to do this thing with a Bic cigarette lighter that was amazing....
Miss those days RIP my friend, thanks for all the great memories...

In 1970 when Neil had a magic shop he became my tutor. Neil taught me the basic first moves of sleight of hand and then much more. That became a 40 year performing career.

I owe it all to Neil Lester.I will miss him very much.
