We're all praying for his speedy recovery!

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
I too hope Dean recovers quickly. In a field of so many big egos, Dean is the exact opposite. Truly one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. Always ready to help and unlike a lot of dealers, making a buck is not the first thing on his mind.
Get well soon buddy.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
Damn!
I hope Dean is OK ...
Myself and my family were in a crash on Sat. 11/26 on a two lane road in CO when a car in the other lane slid on ice and entered our lane ... we hit head-on and my minivan left the highway and went down a shallow ravine .. luckily my wife and daughters (and our two cats, two frogs and Gary the snail) escaped serious injury ... the van was not so lucky ...
Dean is one of the nicest guys in the biz and my thoughs and prayers are with him ...

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
If anyone gets the address for the hospital, let us know. I would like to send him a get well card.
Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
Dean is a great guy and I am sorry to hear of his accident. I met him in the USA earlier this year and I can see why so many magicians are concerned about his wellbeing.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
I also wish Dean a speedy recovery. I've been lucky enough to meet dean on a few occasions when in the USA and he is one of the nicest and most giving people I know.
I would also like to know the address of the hospital.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
Dean may be heading to L.A. as we speak... Jamie Schoolcraft has driven his motor home up to get his belongings, etc. and bring him home as soon as he is released. Car was totalled and friends say it's amazing he and his family are still alive.
He does not want calls right now. The following report is from Alfonso...
Dean has broken ribs, cracked pelvic bone, with rest no surgery, is in a brace.
Dean's son, Jamie -teeth knocked out, broken nose, severed thumb tendon, having cat scan.
Wife, Denise- Broken cheek, facial lacerations, black eye. in best shape of all

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
I met Dean at the WMS in 2003, a great human being. I wish him and his family a full and speedy recovery. It really sucks when bad things happen to great people. Get well soon :(
Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
Dean "Might" be released from hosptial this afternoon. Jamie Schoolcraft is standing by with his motorhome to drive Dean and family home. Wife and son stayed at Ronald MacDonald House near hospital and will come home later today with Jamie (and hopefully Dean). If Dean is not released his father will bring him home.
No calls... he needs the rest.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
It's very rare that you come across a person who is admired and respected by virtually everyone who knows him. Dean Dill is such a person.
God bless and quick recovery!

This is the lastest on Dean and his family.
My prayers are with them all. I'll also echo the fact that Dean is one of nicest people on the planet. Get well soon my friend!

Jamie Schoolcraft is taking Denise, Jamie and Cooper the dog home today. Dean is being moved to another hospital and his Dad is coming up to Vegas to take him home in several days. (?) If he can remain on his back for sometime he won't have to be operated on.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
You bet me to it...
Note: I just heard a little more about the accident. Apparently there was an accident with a vehicle on its roof and Dean was STOPPING TO HELP... when his SUV was T-boned by a pickup truck. From the looks of Dean's vehicle the word is they are lucky to be alive.
Dean is still in Las Vegas, his wife and son are home.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
From the magic cafe:
Dear friends,
My dear friend Dean Dill and his family were in a very bad car accident (almost killed). Dean is in a hospital in Las Vegas (they were on their way back to LA from Vegas). Dean's vehicle was T-boned by a Dodge Truck as Dean was trying to help another vehicle that had flipped and landed on its roof. Dean has some broken ribs, broken pelvis, and lacerations to his face. Denise (his wife) has a broken cheek bone and black and blue eyes. Jamie broke his nose and lost several teeth. Denise and Jamie have been released, but Dean has not. They are trying to stablize him so they can transport him to a hospital close to home.
That said, it will be some time before Dean will be back on his feet and working. In the meantime, the Dill family are subject to an enormous amount of financial hardship.
Given the pain and stress they are already enduring, I come to you, our Caf family to ask for your help.
I realize that everyone is having their own set of financial matters to deal with, especially with the holidays and all.
That aside, I feel we still need to reach out and help not only someone I consider a close friend and a brother, but a fellow magician and entertainer who has given us all so very much. If you cannot give, perhaps a card or letter to let Dean and his family know you are thinking of them?
I would also ask and encourage each of you to keep the Dill family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
Here's another way to help. Go to www.deandill.com and purchase some of his great magic... you won't be disappointed and you will help out a fellow magician in need. :)
Stay tooned.
Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
All,
Pete B. and company are right...Dean Dill is one of the greatest guys around. Please pass the word to your magic friends that one of our great innovators and all around "good guy of magic" is in dire need of assistance. I encourage all reading this to put even a $5 bill in the mail. Let's keep the Dill's in our prayers in the coming weeks as it appears Dean, Denise, and Jamie will need all the support we can muster.
Peace,
Glenn Aga

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
I was just reading article on the Vernon Foundation fundraiser at the Castle. Isn't this a perfect situation for that? A magician, in dire need, for medical reasons?
I think Vernon would be very pleased that his fund was helping Dean.

Re: Dean Dill injured in car crash
From a message posted by Monte Smith on the Castle Forums:
Dean is back from Las Vegas.
He came in yesterday.
Jamie, his son, had the tendon in his
right arm operated on yesterday and
is in quite a lot of pain. Dean, Denise and
Jamie have help at there house . Please,
no visitors. Phone calls are okay, to a limit
If he wants to talk on the phone he'll answers.
If not he'll let the machine pick up and you
may leave a message. Prayers are helping.
So lets keep praying and doing what we can for Dean and his family
