Message by Jim Harvey
I am sorry to announce the death of Irish Magician Albert (Al') Spackman which occurred on 14.03.2011. His name may not be well known to our younger generation of Magicians but I feel certain that they may have come across some effects which were created by him. For example.
Al Spackmans Voodoo
Clip Line
Minature Rapping Hand
Noted Number
He had been a longtime member of The Ulster Society of Magicians.
I am sure that many people on here have performed a variation of Voodoo at some time, as it has become a classic of it's genre.
My Thoughts go out to his friends and Family.
