This week, Ira Sternberg spoke with Magician Gary Darwin.
Gary Lee Meador (Gary Darwin) moved to Las Vegas in his teens. He started the magic club to get acquainted with show girls and other magicians who passed through town.
Darwin worked as a bellman at the Riviera Hotel, spending half his money on magic and the other half on girls. His magic collection grew over the years, as well as autographs he collected from famous performers at the Riviera.
He is a multi-talented entertainer and author, a caricature artist, a five - ball juggler, a one-liner comic, and has written more than 30 books on magic and other related topics.
