After my upload of him went viral, we were in communication for a while. He was a real gent. I was sad to hear of his passing. Hopefully, this piece will last as a tribute to his genius. And NO, for the anti-smokers, his death was TOTALLY unrelated to smoking - which he gave up years ago anyway. In actuality, "Tom Mullica passed away today. Tom had gone into the hospital for a routine hernia operation and due to complications, blood clots formed and he had multiple strokes. He was placed into a medically induced coma after he suffered organ failure and finally on February 18th he was taken off life support." He will be missed by fans of magic, great entertainment and just really nice guys.
