I met Tim on July 31, 2007 at The Greenbrier, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Tim was booked to entertain at a Twilight Zone themed event for the Independent Oil & Gas Association. It was a cocktails and dinner event in Colonial Hall, the larger of the two ballrooms. The room has a permanent stage with curtain and apron, and for the event, portable […]
My interactions with Tim were not particularly unique, because he was very generous with his time. But it was a big deal to me. When I was 17 (I’m 25 now) I sent him a brief email asking if he could share some of his thoughts about magic, and he responded with pages of great ideas. […]
I just want to tell you about the first time that I saw Tim. I should mention that I am not a full time professional magician. During the day I work for the Australian Defence Department in Melbourne, Australia. Back in 1987 the Defence Department posted me to the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. […]
In 1995 I suffered a compound fracture of my right thumb. Up until then I had made my living as a sleight of hand artist. 9 weeks in a cast from my fingertips to my elbows. Tim helped me work out a mind reading act that I could do without the use of my right hand. […]
Tim and I were once booked to perform together at a fund raiser for a Synagogue in Washington DC. I was already in the hotel the night before our show when Tim arrived. We were sharing a room that night, and as he walked in I smiled, and said “Hey there Timmy.” He said “Please […]
We spent some time together in Kona Hawaii many years ago. At dinner one night Tim couldn’t stop talking about wilderness survival. (You know how it was whenever Tim got interested in something. He would fixate on it and soon know more about it than any expert.) No matter where the conversation went, Tim kept […]
Last night I performed a show in Lexington KY for a group of scientists. It was the final show on my calendar that was a referral from Tim. I knew they had tried to book Tim, had booked him before, and he had talked them into hiring me for the gig in his place. I […]
I am honored to be here today to memorialize my dear friend, my brother, Tim. The amazing outpouring of love is obvious and overwhelming – truly Tim touched hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. For me and for my family, all of the Conovers are our family. We have known them all our entire lives, […]
I’m not really sure how to start. When Shari called me and asked me to speak at Tim’s memorial service, I have to admit I was more than a little afraid. I didn’t really know exactly what to say. I didn’t have all of those charming childhood stories to tell. And everybody already knows what […]
