Hello
We recently lost a fellow magician who I was very close to, and I have been asked to perform a Broken Wand ceremony.
Can someone point me towards the original version?
Please feel free to email me at aikiboy@bway.net
Thanks for your help

A quick Google search brought up the following...
Broken Wand Ceremony
http://www.magictricks.com/library/glossary.htm
Special ceremony conducted at the funeral of a magician in which a wand is broken to symbolize the loss of magical power. First conducted by the Society of American Magicians at Houdini's memorial service in 1926.
IBM version of the ceremony:

If you're in the SAM, your local assembly should have their version.
