IBM Ring 280, the Mark Wilson Ring will be holding a virtual broken wand ceremony for our friend and name sake James "Mark" Wilson on February 11 starting at 7:30 PM pst. A broken
wand ceremony is a ritual performed at the death of a magician,
in which a wand — either the wand which the magician used in performances, or a
ceremonial one — is broken, indicating that with the magician's death, the wand
has lost its magic. It is a solemn ceremony and is done with reverence. Please
let me know if you will be attending so we can provide a list to the widow. The ceremony will be presided over by Past President Bob Love. The zoom address is Vanishing Inc. has prepared a Mark Wilson Tribute and has graciously allowed Ring 280 to distribute it. Please mute yourself during the ceremony. |
