RAIDERS & MAGICIANS MOURN DR. ALBO

The world of magic and the Oakland Raiders are mourning the loss of team physician Dr. Robert Albo. In the magic community, Albo is known as the writer of the monumental Ten Volume "Magic With Apparatus". He was also known for his amazing personal collection.  From the Oakland Raiders Website:

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Robert Albo.

The Oakland Raiders have always admired his Commitment to Excellence that he constantly demonstrated in the art of medicine. His dedication to those who came in touch with him was outstanding and we recognize his great life.

The fire that burns brightest in Bob Albo was his relentless effort to bring the values and virtues that are the American way of life to those around him.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Marge and the family.

Here is a nice piece from Sports Illustrated in 1993.
