HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY, HOUDINI


Today, on Houdini's unbirthday, we find ourselves missing our old friend Jerry Andrus, likewise a magic immortal. We're wistfully showcasing this tiny compilation of his work, including his creation Surprise Color Change, called "the most beautiful move in magic." 

Jerry was a lovely guy, the straightest arrow in the quiver.  He bathed his sweet nature and good humor in chocolate milkshakes, one of which he drank every day. Rest in Peace, and on General Principles, eternal friend.

  1. Andrus' color change is a thing of beauty and worth learning.
