I've just heard the very sad news that Bob has passed away.
(I heard this from a post Luke Jermay made on facebook)
I still remember when I first bought his DVD Mental Miracles when I was about 15. It was so eye opening. It transformed me into a new area of magic entirely... mind reading. I've always wanted to learn and perform his Name/Place routine but never quite got around to it (partly because you can't really burn things anymore). Maybe now is a good time to start working on it.
I'm also going to reread some of Cassidy's books and watch Mental Miracles again, not to mention his fantastic penguin lectures (his solo lecture and his combined lecture with Richard Osterlind).
