I only met Tony a handful of times over the years, but always enjoyed the time and information that he shared.



He'll be missed.

A while back, I downloaded and bound all of Tony's Genii columns......contained within are amazing things!

To be expected, as he led an amazing life.



RIP Tony......deepest sympathies to his family.

That's a real shame, there is not many of the old school left today. If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

I wish he had, I wanted to see his dice DVD in the worst way. It's a shame.

It would have been awesome. The handmucking DVD is a masterpiece. I have no doubt the Ultimate Work on dice would have been one of, if not the very best, DVD on the subject.
