to people of My generation two effects, the silk serenade, and the crystal tube, both marketed by Tenyo, were invaluable. Its not that long ago that every manipulation act used a version of these two effects.

my sincerest thoughts and best wishes go to his family, and the magical community in general, all of whom owe him so much.

How sad. His book, The Magic of Pavel, was one of my favourites as a young'un. I echo Dale's words.
