 Pictured
are Uncle Floyd and John
Pizzi who along with Tony
Darrow headlined at the
Stanley M. Levine charity
dinner on March 24th. The
annual event has raised
several million dollars over
the years for local
charities and the audience
is always packed with
politicians, celebrities,
athletes, law enforcement
and their counterparts.
Uncle Floyd's east coast
television show in the
1970s-80s had a cult like
following and showcased
local magicians. Pizzi is
well known as a
ventriloquist but is also an
outstanding magician. The
final magic connection is
less known; Stanley M.
Levine who the dinner is
named after, and even has a
reservoir named after him,
was one of the founding
members of IBM Ring #113 in
New Jersey. (3/27/08: A
