Message from George Schindler

Comedy magician Lee Noble died this morning in an automobile accident in
Leesburg, FL- He was past President of IBM Ring 26 in New York, 
and a member of the Society of American Magicians in New York.- He is 
noted for his famed Himber Wallet. His unique New England Magic style was 
well known on the East Coast.

--------------------------
Noble, Lee, 86, birth name Edwin Burchell, husband of the late Patricia 
Crowley died in an automobile accident in Orlando, Florida, April 30th, 2003. 
Mr. Noble was one of the finest magicians of the twentieth century. Former 
President of The Harry Roz Ring of the International Brotherhood of 
Magicians, Lifetime Member of the Society of American Magicians and one of 
the founders of the legendary magical think tank, The Thirteen. He was a 
suave, urbane performer with a twinkle in the eye that brought laughter to 
his audiences as well as amazement. His joyous presence will be terribly 
missed by his family, friends and peers. However, many of his magical 
creations shall continue to be used by members of the magic fraternity for 
eons.
