Mark Wilson passed away on Tuesday, January 19th. He was 91.
I enjoyed his TV appearances when I was very young and just getting into magic. So many of the early tricks I used to fool my friends with came from his Complete Course in Magic. I still have the older and revised editions in my magic library today.
Thank you for so many years of magic Mark. You will be missed!

Very sad to hear, we have lost several magic greats in the past year.

I watched Mark Wilson and his lovely assistant Nani Darnell every Saturday morning on The Wonderful Land Of Alakazam. So sad to hear he has passed what a great guy.

Very sad, but a good age to close your eyes forever when you’re 91.
I was more shocked when Ger Copper died at the age of 67 and David Roth at 68.
Really too young.
I still have the big book by Mark Wilson.
