Sol Stone, Magician of the Year 2014

On May 17, 2014, Sol Stone was honored in New York City as Magician of the Year by the Society of American Magicians, Parent Assembly 1. The presentation was made during the annual Salute to Magic show, which this year was held at the Queens Theatre. Sol has been an influential figure in magic both as a creator of innovative close-up effects and as a mentor to many aspiring conjurors. In the 84 years in which he has pursued his interest in magic he has known or seen most of the greatest magicians of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Leipzig, Vernon, Flosso, Hugard, and Goshman to name just a few. His life's work in magic was recently documented in the book The Essential Sol Stone, published in 2012. This video was shown at the Salute to Magic as an introduction to the Magician of the Year presentation. More at: http://herbsantiques.weebly.com/magic...
