Los Magicos

Los Magicos was the Hollywood Chapter of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians, a regional magic club. Like the SAM and IBM counter parts, the primary purpose of the clubs was social and professional ties. The PCAM had periodic conventions and my dad performed for those shows several times. In 1968, there was a show in Santa Barbara that we worked that was pretty spectacular. I came across these rosters in some of my Dad's notebooks. Since they are all fifty years old now, I don't imagine anyone's privacy is being invaded. Many of the names on these lists were good friends of my Dad, and we saw them at the house on a regular basis. Joe Berg, who owned the Magic Shop above Hollywood Blvd. was someone I recall fondly, my Dad later

bought the title to the National Magic Company, which Joe Berg had owned as well. I love the prefix listings for the phone numbers. Most people today have no idea that letters were used to suggest the exchange for the phone service that you were located at.
