COVER: Chuck Jones, The Magic Man
By Mark Nelson

He may be one of the most famous magicians that you know very little about. In his more than fifty years of appearances — local television, club dates, shopping malls, amusement parks, cable and network television programs, top casino productions in Reno and Lake Tahoe, tradeshows, trans-Canada tours, and two decades of annual tours of New Zealand and Australia — Chuck Jones and his various Companies have probably appeared live in more individual performances than any illusionist of his generation. His entire career has been one of reinvention and transformation, adapting his magic and his presentations easily and rapidly to changing markets and audiences.
