I had a chance to chat with my old friend, Bruce Kalver.  He was the president of The Society of American Magicians when I was hired to be the editor of M-U-M. He authored several feature stories for me and also wrote one of the most popular columns in the magazine, Tech Tricks (which continues to this day). Bruce’s story is a fascinating one. He was born into a show-biz family, has performed professionally since age ten, hosted a popular radio show in Rhode Island, and is the creator and producer of the well-known Head Shrinker illusion. I spoke to Bruce via Skype. July 2019
