Broken Wand - Ken De Courcy

Postby Mark Waddington » Thu Jul 24, 2008 8:53 am

From Practical Magic:(23.07.08 )

sad news today that Ken de Courcy died this morning. Ken had been on the magic scene 'forever' and will always be associated with editing Supreme's 'Magigram', a position he held for well over 20 years. In addition, he contributed hugely to every magical magazine, was a prolific author, wrote numerous magical routines, was an all-round entertainer, and one of the kindest people you could hope to meet. Our thoughts go out to his wife, Sue, who will be devastated in the loss of a husband and a larger-than-life character.


RIP Ken

We'll all miss Ken.

He was the one who finally convinced me to perfect a DL.

For anyone that knew him - funeral arrangements are here -

Ken was a great diplomat for magic and had some fantastic input into the magic society over his years.

RIP Ken. You will be missed.
