dad's whole life is magic. He lives, eats and breathes magic. He's
a perfectionist, and I guess he ought to know what he's doing by
now after 42 years!" To read the Feb. 11 article supplied by NewsReal click: HERE.(3/1)

Gerry McCambridge is not the Masked Street Magician. The rumors
were originally started by Riley G and were taken by McCambridge
as a joke. He kiddingly posted the information to the PEA (Psychic
Entertainers Association) in their digest apologizing for the
exposures. The e-mail was intercepted by Riley G -- The PEA is
very serious about its secrecy and decided to create a sting
operation to find out which of their members leaked this
information. With the help of Bruce Barnett they posted encrypted
messages (furthering the rumor of McCambridge as the Masked Street
Magician) which were delivered to different members which they
suspected -- today they discovered the informant. So, as far as we
are concerned McCambridge is not the Masked Street Magician, had
nothing to do with the show, and was not thrown out of the PEA.
For an in-depth discussion of this story by McCambridge click: HERE.
The TV show Extra however is
in pursuit of the real Masked Street Magician and has
McCambridge's denial on tape for a future show.(3/2)
