The magic worl has lost a true friend. It is rare that you find someone with such creativity and talent who is willing to share and teach. His memory will be alive every time someone smiles at one of the wonderful effects he created and shared with our community. Our hearts are with you in this difficult time.

While I have never met Nick, his legendary card work was always something special to me. 20 years ago when I was getting back into magic I would always buy his effects every time I could find them, he will be surely missed in the magic community as well as Ring 2100

I knew Nick and his family from childhood as we all grew up in the small town of Tipp City, Ohio. He and his family lived over the "back fence" and our families were good friends. I remember how he would practice his magic tricks with us, eventually entertaining at the birthday parties, at school, or wherever he could. He was so good and we all marveled at how he could work his magic on us. I am so sorry to hear of his passing but take solace in knowing he is still working his magic and loving every minute of it wherever he is.

We are sorry for your loss. Nick lived two houses away when we lived in Tipp City. It was fun to watch his magic tricks when we were kids.
He brought a lot of joy to people for many many years.
God Bless you and your family.

Hi Dottie,
I am so sorry to hear about Nick. I was at the Buffalo convention (Nick would always attend) in late October and heard Nick was ill. I meant to call him but within a week I heard of his death. I always enjoyed spending time with Nick, and truly enjoyed the one time my wife and I were able to meet and have supper with you and Nick.
Regards

I was a 4 year younger neighbor in Tipp City. We played basketball and magic together.
He taught me sleight of hand with cards that I still mystify my friends.
He was a good guy.
