Pictured
is Earl "Presto" Johnson
performing at his nursing
home during a show which was
organized by IBM Ring 26 on
October 19. Ring members who
joined Presto on the bill
included Ted Lee, Rene
Clement, Doug Edwards, Frank
Reyes, Peter Bernardini,
Jerry Wiesenberg, Jim
Stranges, and Matae Khristov.
Presto who got his big break
in the 1940s performing at
the famed Hubert's Dime
Museum in Times Square
parlayed his expert comedy
and manipulative skills into
a very long and successful
career performing at every
conceivable venue.

David
Blaine performing card magic
for his fans while hanging
upside-down in New York
City. Blaine began his "Dive
Of Death" stunt on Monday
September 22 at 8:30am where
he plans on hanging
upside-down at the Wollman
Rink in Central Park for 60
hours. During a live segment
of his ABC special on the
24th he plans on plunging
from his suspension --
hopefully not to his death
as the title suggests.
