I got to see your performance in Columbus at P3 and talked to you after the show. Your talents with coin will be very hard to match and never surpassed. I was absolutely amazed. I was sad to hear of your passing, but I know you are already craftily keeping Heaven entertained.
Sorry to hear of Curtis‘s passing. We dated almost 40 years ago. It was the early days, before his magic show, before all the videos. I remember him always rolling coins in his hands, working with cards and practicing and fine tuning his magic tricks. Back then our worlds intertwined at so many points; one of my Uncles was a magician, and Curtis had another Uncle’s deposition on his desk when he worked on asbestos cases. I enjoyed the meet ups with other magicians like Mike Ching, and Robert Ramos, who I already knew. One of his HS classmates attended Yale with him, that person was my father’s best friends son., who I had grown up visiting. He shared a birthday with my BFF and I with his father. About 20 years after I moved to the mainland, staying with my BFF in Kapahulu, on my visits back, I would weirdly always run into Curtis at Safeway.
Aside from magic; I have good memories of Sunday night dinners with his family. Popping in to see his grandmother at Ala Moana’s Crack Seed Center.
I am happy that he achieved so much in his Magic career, as it was his joy in life.
To the Kam family, I send my condolences and thanks for being kind to me when Curtis and I dated.
Bernadette “Berny” Lai.
