Original Specs
"When talking about magic and show-biz happenings during our Saturday magic group sessions and at other magic gatherings, I have often been told I should put my stories in a book. I have done a lot of things in my life, but writing is certainly not one of them. Frank Dudgeon, a Saturday regular at the Magic Art Studio while living in the Boston area, expressed a willingness to take on the task. However, if there was to be a book, I did not want it to be all about me. Instead I wanted it to include the friends I have made in magic, and those in show-biz as well. I consider these friends a big part of my life...
You will find many photos in this book and, though all are not included here, there is a story behind each one. Ask, and I will be happy to share one with you.
There is an old saying in show business: 'I have had a good run'. To that I will add, 'And I have enjoyed every minute of it'."
