Reçu de Michel FONTAINE :
d'après Magictimes.com de Meir Yedid du 20 mars :
Channing Pollock (August 16, 1926-March 18, 2006) who was the epitome of the classic and debonair magician died on Saturday at the age of 79.
Pollock's skill with doves and cards inspired a generation of manipulators and dove workers who strived to be like him. He also had a career as an actor in movies and on various television shows in the 1960s.
The performance he is best remembered for is his appearance in the movie European Nights (1962) where he performs his act. He began as a Chavez Student and later as one of their instructors.
He also created a number of now classic techniques that can be seen in just about every dove act.
Outre son numéro bien connu de colombes, filmé en 1956 dans "Nuits d'Europe", Il avait fait une brève carrière de comédien avec entre autres "Judex" au cinéma.
