Broken Wand ... Bob Fenton.

It is with great sadness that we report that Bob Fenton passed away in his sleep on the 4th April 2011.

Evildan writes:-
"Bob was a regular at the Inner Circle of Bizarre Magick Gatherings. He often
attended the Saturday night dinners dressed in St Nicholas outfits from various
countries. Bob was a dear friend. He was always friendly and very giving with
advice or knowledge. Bob and his wife lived in Las Vegas, NV. I've read comments on his passing from major magical players like Lance Burton and Siegfried who have said that many don't even know the contributions he's made and the paths he's paved before us".

He was a good friend to many and will be greatly missed.

This wonderful book contains 534 pages, is illustrated and has a Case wrapped hard cover. It's planned publication date (Halloween 2010) was missed but it's out now so don't miss out.
