Ajad Konor in an Evening Mail article about his four-month
search for a new assistant. It seems that his last one 'vanished'
(actually left for Bangladesh) in September. This left Konor
unable to "place a person's head in a chopping device or
using a power saw on it." He explained that "After what
seems like ages hunting I've finally found an assistant who is
ideal. ...She is called Rani and lives in Newtown, Birmingham, and
is really keen on learning the tricks of the trade. We have some
shows coming up soon and are in training to put on some
spectacular performances." To read the Jan. 6 Evening Mail

different form -- a visual form." To read the Jan. 7 article

Charles W. Cameron (10/31/1927-1/7/2001)
who
is commonly referred to as "The Godfather of Bizarre Magik"
died on Jan. 7th in Edinburogh, Scotland at the age of 73 from an
aneurysm in his stomach. Mr. Cameron was one of the first
magicians to incorporate Occult themes into his routines which
gave a sense of the macabre. His horror/magic shows in Scotland
ran for many years and he wrote a number of books on the subject,
the first being "Witches' Brew" and "Handbook of
Horror" which were published by Supreme Magic in England. His
most recent book, "Scottish Witches," published in 1990
by Jarrold Publishing, traces the history of witchcraft in
Scotland during the 16th and 17th centuries. Services will be held
on Saturday Jan. 13 at 11am at the Warriston Crematorium, in
Edinburgh.
