RIP Onimo. That is shite to hear.

RIP to Belafonte - he was definitely a regular in the 'still alive?' thread

+1 for Odds Against Tomorrow, terrific film

― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 17:11 (three years ago)

Sad to hear about Onimo. Many moons ago now, but one of the few ilxors I'd met in real life, if my hazy memories are surfacing correctly. Thinking of his family and friends, including those here.

Memory guy Harry Lorayne:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/04/08/harry-lorayne-memory-magic-dies/

― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 18:13 (three years ago)

I've got one of Lorayne's books, and tried to get down one of his memory stunts as a party trick. Almost got there. The book is one of those showbiz small press hardcovers that looks like it manufactured in the 1930s, though it's probably from about 1970s. Such an artifact from another time, it never even occurred to me to wonder if he was still alive.
