There are unverified reports on the internet that Chuck Fayne has died. Chuck was one of the best and funniest magicians working. The best advice he gave to others was simple:
"Don't try to be me and I promise never to be you."

Re: Chuck Fayne - RIP?
Terrible news. Chuck was terrific!
During Chuck's lecture at a convention years ago, a regional TV reporter (with cameraman) tried to film Chuck's lecture. Displaying sublime grace, humor and control, Chuck explained to the twit that he was teaching secrets to other magicians, who paid to learn those secrets. So no, he wouldn't allow the reporter to film his lecture. Instead, he welcomed him to film his performance later that night.
The clueless correspondent apologized and slinked away with his and the cameraman's tail tucked between his legs.
Chuck transformed an unexpected, inappropriate, potentially ugly disruption into a mini master class on professional decorum. It was a thing of beauty. The audience loved it.
Thank you for enriching our world, Chuck. Rest in peace.
