Such a loss for the magic community. Condolences to family and friends.

I’m very sorry to hear this.

It was good of him to share Ramsay's routines. And those two books on 'Diverting' magic.

Is there any of Andrew's material in print? What was his magic about?

Who's teaching audience eye contact and rapport these days? Just in case: Use your cell phone camera in portrait mode, make sure the top of your head is in frame in all performance rehearsal video takes, and check where you are looking.

R. I. P. Andrew Galloway.

Two books of his magic, one on coins, one on cards. Diverting ...
He was a delightful man.

I always enjoyed his posts on GF--so knowledgeable and approachable. You will be missed (but not forgotten), sir.

Eons ago, Andy kindly sent me two photographs of Ramsay. In one of them Ramsay is shown outdoors with many trophies and other awards, which I believe Andy said were for gardening. The date on the back of that one is "circa 1930."
