Hank Moorehouse

Hank Moorehouse, Past National President, and iconic influencer and promoter of the art of magic around the world, has died in China while on tour with a troop performing close-up magic.

There are few details at this time, and with the American Embassy in China being closed over the holiday weekend, more information will not be available until later next week.

Our National Convention in Pittsburgh has long been planned to honor Hank and celebrate his life. According to S.A.M. Ambassador Brad Jacobs, P.N.P., Jackie Moorehouse has requested that the Convention proceed with a celebration of Hank's life.

Hank's incredible vision, international network of magicians, and tremendous creativity helped shape and propel the S.A.M. into the 21st Century. We honor him as a Compeer, Past National President, and of course, the long-time Executive Producer of our Convention shows and lectures.

With heavy hearts, but grateful for his friendship, and blessed by his artistry,

Mark Weidhaas, National President
Rev. Michael Douglass, P.N.P, National Chaplain

Whenever there was a convention, we could be pretty sure that Hank would be there - performing, lecturing, dealing -- but most of all, enjoying himself with his Brothers and Sisters. The seat he occupied for decades at Abbott's - past which I would pass while hearing a quip or some comment about Magic or the world - will be just one simple memorial to a man who knew just about everyone in our Family, and who was loved by everyone who was lucky to know him. Good-bye, Hank - and I WILL remember what you always told me about . . .
