Broken
Wand - Mahka Tendo
Message
from Dale Salwak
It
is with much sadness that I report the passing of Japan's
Mahka Tendo from cancer early on the morning of May 26th at
the age of 49.
Mahka was known and respected and loved by the magical community
all over the world. For many months he fought bravely and
strongly, his family at his side.
Many
magicians, upon learning of his illness, continued to send
him DVDs and e-mailed messages of encouragement. These meant
a lot to him. He died knowing that others cared.
