William Andrews

The Society of American Magicians joins the world of magic in mourning the death of William (Bill) Andrews, Past National President of the S.A.M.


Bill was a phenomenal ambassador for the S.A.M., promoting the highest standards of professionalism, while investing himself in the lives of up and coming entertainers in the SYM, and serving as the consummate encourager to those who were blessed to be touched by him.


The NACM competition held in Pittsburgh last week at the S.A.M. 2011 Conference was dedicated to Bill Andrews. His presence will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on through the lives of those he dramatically influenced.


Vinny Grosso, M.I. National President
Rev. Michael Douglass, PNP
National Chaplain

I am so sad to see someone who I cared for so much just, disappear from us all. I feel honored to have known Bill and I wish I could see him one more time.

All though the world of magic grieves for this loss of a true gentleman. Bill Andrews holds a special place in the hearts of the Parent Assembly. His service to the S.A.M. national organization was tireless and profound. You would think he could do no more but his giving extended to the PA#1 and his SYM group in wonderful and great ways. He was truly a great man and a friend to all of us.

Mr. Andrews will truly be missed. He was an inspiration to my son who has been part of Mr. Andrews SYM for the past 6 years. He was a true gentleman.

Contests - Young Member Shows - Conventions - Magic Will they ever have that same polish and importance that Bill Andrews brought to them all? Yet, he was generous and friendly to a degree that we should all hope to attain. He was a pillar of The S.A.M. and The S.Y.M. and what he helped build will bear his kindness and integrity for generations to come . . . and we are ALL the better people for knowing him. Thank you, Bill and Helen, for sharing your lives and love of Magic with us. Paul Critelli
