I dont know much but he died in his home in Asheville NC this morning. I had a bit of a crush on him, even though he clashed with folks in New Orleans post Katrina over governance in the Quarter, where hed opened a club and magic shop. He didnt get that he was him and they were them and he couldnt come in and have instant street cred there. That said, he was a master of the patter and sleight of hand, a funny man and I am really, really sad hes gone.
