BROKEN WAND :: JC WAGNER
I am very sad to report the passing of legendary restaurant and bar magician JC Wagner. From the Facebook page of one of his friends and contemporaries, "JC Wagner just passed away. 7:11 Pacific. Private burial at sea. Memorial to be planned by Magi. He was at peace until the very end and amidst family. Good bye old friend. You will be missed." His website was just updated as well to list his current location as: From his own website listing his current location: "Puttin a Card under St Peter's glass & even HE didn't catch it!" What a great epitaph!
In March of this year, I was very lucky to have some time to chat with JC just after he finished a run at the Magic Castle and he was feeling great! We talked about everything from his days working the Disney Magic shop with Steve Martin to his time working the bar with Bob Sheets and Doc Eason. JC also shares some of history with Dai Vernon, Eddie Fecter and other legends of the west coast magic scene. If you want to work magic in the bar, there is no better teacher to learn from than the amazing JC Wagner.
