This is very sad news indeed. I will begin to reread the 13 steps cover to cover again now, I think. A very knowledgeable, and funny (his book is layered with examples) man, that we could all learn from.

As with Alex Elmsley and all the others of similar stature, I think the written stuff left behind by these greats of mentalism and magic shows the real meaning of immortality.

How sad.
I wished I would have gotten to see him.

A sad loss indeed. He was so much more than the 13 steps though. A truely great thinker ahead of his time.

I've only just spotted this, very sad news. My sympathies go out to all his friends and family.

Tony's 13 Steps helped me advance in mentalism quickly. I often performed Zakamora II to great effect.
Thankfully, his work is available and can continue to be studied.
Thanks Tony!

I was very sad when I heard this.
It was '13 steps' that first got me into mentalism and, like a few people have said, haboured an ambition that I might someday get to meet him. A dream which will now not be realised.
