Gene brought magic back to the Upstate and gave local magicians a place to meet and share their art. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Gene was such a giant! He never met a stranger and always had a smile and encouraging words even as his health was failing. He will truly be missed. Neggie, my prayers are with you. Love you!!
