I agree, Luis, it's been a tough run. It hasn't yet made the mainstream news or I'd post an obit.  Av 0 0 0

Johnny and Pam were honored at the IBM convention in San Antonio a couple of years ago. I have had the good fortune to see them many times over the years. The act never grew stale. I loved it every time. "I tease and tantalize the bag...." Mike 0 1 1

Twelve and a half minutes of non-stop engaging, masterfully performed, entertaining card perfection. https://www.magicana.com/video/johnny-thompson-gamblers-ballad-0 ♥️RIP He’d been at the top with the best of the lot. He had indeed. 0 0 0
