BOB NIXON, I.B.M. TERRITORIAL VICE PRESIDENT,
PASSES AWAY JANUARY 19, 2008

Bob Nixon

January 20, 2008. It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Bob Nixon, the Territorial Vice President for Maine, on January 19, 2008. Bob Nixon was our Territorial Vice President when I.B.M. Ring 362 held its organizational meeting in January 2006 and served the International Brotherhood of Magicians with great honor and distinction.

He leaves behind an active magic community in this small state that shall not see his like again. Those of you who knew Bob Nixon will share our sense of loss.

Please see the Broken Wand for Bob Nixon.

Maine has lost another King of its pack of magicians... We're certain Nixon, Covens, and Greenwood have tickets to the Great Convention in the sky featuring lectures by Houdini, J.W. Elliott, Kellar, Thurston and Chung Ling Soo. You can count on Bob talking with all of them and then have his picture taken with them.

We'll miss you Bob,
