One
of the greatest treasures in magic died last night
Message
from Norm and Lupe Nielsen
CHANNING POLLOCK, age 79 died of cancer. He was one
of the most influential magicians of our time. When he walked
out on stage his charisma electrified the audience. Handsome
and with his technical perfection, he began the trend of dove
magic as we know it today.
He became a movie star in Europe and later retired in California
where he mentored some of our best magicians, like Shimada
and James Dimmare. He was a strong influence on Johnny Thompson,
Lance Burton and so many others. He was above all a great
friend to all those who were close to him and an outstanding
human being. We will all miss him. He is survived by his wife,
Joann and his son, Russell.
More details regarding where to send condolences, memorial
and funeral arrangements will follow.
