@bRadicalmagic1 I agree.. Jerry was a good friend and a wonderful person. I met him when I first became serious about magic (1974). I attended countless IBM meetings and even a private trip to PDX to look at a Psychic Fair along with Ray Hyman ) I miss his Castle of Chaos visits (and Halloween Illusions) and I value every moment i spent in his company. I was young but he never made me feel that was something to be looked down upon. Truly Andrus was a great man! ~jk~
I consider Jerry Andrus as my mentor. Mentor is a label given ONLY to the WELL DESERVED. I consider myself to be BLESSED that I was able to spend as much time with Jerry as I did.
I, too am from Albany, Oregon (same as Jerry Andrus). Last October, I e-mailed him and he invited myself and a friend to his house for an afternoon. Wow! He was a genius and a gentlemen. I even got an autograph! I really feel blessed to have met him and I mourne his loss.
I met Andrus briefly at the first Amazing Meeting. A wonderful person, and his illusions were truly mind-bending! The world is a poorer place without him.
Jerry was a great man who helped me in so many ways. I mourn his loss deeply but I am thankful for all he did for me and for every moment I spent with him at magic meetings, alone (eating a "short stack..no eggs.. cuz they are icky") or visiting Albany's "Castle of Chaos". Jerry my friend I LOVE YA BRO!

Randi,
Thank you for your great thoughts about this phenomenal man.
Nate Leipzig, once said, "The audience wants to know that they have been fooled by a gentleman."
It seems Jerry was a great example of a great, magical gentleman.
So are you, even though you'd probably jokingly deny it.
You are both great inspirations.
Thanks again!
