Jay Marshall and Lefty filmed in the fall of 1996 in the theater at Magic Inc. in front of a lay audience. Fran Marshall was also in attendance. Jay was a dear friend and I miss him.
This was his signature act that he performed on The Ed Sullivan Show. Jay Marshall was a staple, honored, loved, and known, throughout the world. I am proud, and fortunate, to have known him. One year when we were in Wisconsin attending the Houdini Convention, a bunch of us stayed up late at the hotel in the whirlpool. After we got back to Chicago, and was at a Wizard Club meeting, Jay announced, proudly, that he had been in a whirlpool with Toni McDill (me). . . . I said: "Yeah, but I can do better than that. I was in a whirlpool with JAY MARSHALL!!" Everyone laughed. Jay looked very pleased. He was QUITE the lady's man. Yep, he loved the ladies.
I don’t want to be cynical or any such thing, but I can’t help suspecting that the little Lefty wasn’t the one doing the singing. As such, why was he complaining so much, with Jay doing all the real work?
Very sweet.....Brought tears to my eyes!!!!
God Bless Jay!!!!!
