Alright, Jerry Andrus was a excellent friend of mine he was more than that, he was more like my brother.
In some aspects that perhaps my Dad, because he was always ready with good advice, with a joke
with some observation on how the world worked. How it worked practically well for him.
Jerry Andrus was brilliant in so many ways.
He wrote a lot of poetry. Sorry, edit! Wrote a lot of poetry.
And ah that was a, I always told Jerry its very very interesting poetry Jerry, and he would have a smile out of the corner of his mouth and he would know that I was saying
hum interesting doesn't mean good.
Jerry was an honest man, the most honest man I've ever known in my life. He could not lie about anything.
One magic trick that he did as a matter of fact he did consummately well.
Excuse me, these are calling cards here or something some term of adversment.
Here is what he would do, he would shuffle up a deck of cards, and then he would say now "I'm going to look at a card down here in the pack and then he would bring it up from below the table and he would say
"Now I looked at a card and I'm going to ask you if you can possibly guess what that card is?".
Now this is just a locator thing, I won't get in the details of it, but he was not lying. Because he would say,
"I'm going to look at the pack".
But he would say to me afterwards, remember I didn't say "that I saw a card"
"I looked at a card" because he would defocus his eyes. He was so scrupulosity honest
that he could not actually say that he looked, that he saw, pardon me, saw a card here
He would just say "I looked at a card".
That's the kind of guy he was, scrubiciouly honest.
all of his life, but he meant it, it wasn't a joke with him, at all.
I celebrate the existance of Jerry Andrus. I don't morn his passing, no ...
he would be embarrassed if he knew that I did that.
He was a genius, he was a good friend, he was a fine
man and yes, I miss him. Every Day!
