Magic Tricks With Muhammad Ali
“While I was working in a magic shop in my twenties, Muhammad Ali came in. My boss (huge Ali fan from back in the day) was visibly staggered. I guess Ali was his idol when he was younger. Ali hung around for a couple of hours; we did some tricks for him and he did some for us (pretty good, too, considering his hands trembled and he didn’t talk).”
”He was totally beyond cool with us taking some pictures (he posed my boss punching him in the chin) and wrote a thank-you postcard to us a week or so later…he signed it ‘Cassius Clay, oops, I mean Muhammad Ali.’ I was pretty devasted when he passed away, and I will never forget how kind he was to us – especially my boss.”
