Re: RIP David Roth
I was just informed that the Conjuring Arts Research Center is hosting a David Roth memorial over Zoom hosted by Asi Wind on March 13, at 2:30 pm EST. I would suggest contacting CARC for details if you are interested.

Re: RIP David Roth
We just had the most amazing zoom tribute to David. I know it was recorded, I hope it becomes available for all to see. Here is a video tribute I made for David.

Re: RIP David Roth
A beautiful video tribute, Michael.
Yesterday's Zoom memorial was a wonderful privilege to attend. There's nothing I can say which others have not already said about David Roth's impact on magic. Thank goodness we are left with such a wonderful body of timeless work to watch, read and learn for generations to come.
The Zoom tribute was about the man his family and friends fondly recalled. There was a veritable who's who of magicians in attendance, sharing a life unseen by those of us who were only familiar with Roth's work. Great stories about a man whose kindness, curiosity, knowledge, skills and inventiveness knew no boundaries. David Roth made an impact on so many people, including those like myself who never got to meet him. As a few participants yesterday said, there was coin magic before David Roth, and coin magic after David Roth. We are all the richer for living in the post-Roth world. RIP, David.

Re: RIP David Roth
This just came in, so I thought you would like to see the YouTube video of the memorial (about 2.5 hrs). It is nice to hear so many stories from different parts of David's life.

Re: RIP David Roth
Not many people know this, but David Roth was in the movie BIG, as an extra. Look for him as a father with his son , wearing a gray jacket, in the backround during this iconic scene at FAO Schwarz.

Re: RIP David Roth
David is in the scene very briefly--at the beginning he walks from right to left in the aisle behind the main characters. And I think he appears again at the end on the left. He is not, however, the man with the boy.

Re: RIP David Roth
Yes, that was my mistake. The other guy looks like David, but in your photo you can clearly see him at the end of the crowd. He appears for a brief moment when Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia are playing the piano, and as they walk away ( toward David).
