More kind words for The Munster Society of Magicians

Tony Sadar writes ...

"It was with great sadness that I read of the Society of Munster Magicians and their demise as a formal society.  I have great memories of Margie and I working on their first convention in 1979 at The Savoy in Limerick. The national media coverage we got on the living burial was unbelivable and of course  who can forget Billy O'Leary and his upside down Houdini jacket escape over the river. Appearing on the gala show with the mayor of Limerick as a helper was a plus for margie and I.  Let me extend our best wishes to all the past members of the society in the furture of their magic.  Regards to all,  Tony and Margie Sadar."

Congratulations to the Sadar's

Heartfelt congrats to Tony and Margie Sadar  on their 50th wedding anniversary.  Tony sent us the following message.

"Margie and I will celebrate fifthy years of marriage this week with family and friends flying in from as far away as India, America and Scotland.  This is the gold.  Still in love and as busy as ever."

Fair play guys.  we are all so chuffed for ye!

Tony Sadar's Buried Alive :: 1979 Radio Interview with Gerry Ryan

The year was 1979.  The occasion was Limerick's first hosting of the Irish Magic Convention.  What was needed was some publicity to help bally up attendance at the Gala Show.  The man to help was Tony Sadar.

Tony performed a buried alive stunt that perked the interest of the national broadcaster.  In the audio below first broadcast on RTE's Saturday Live you hear the late great Gerry Ryan, before his rise to super stardom, talk with Tony as he attempts to cheat death.

Nowadays Tony works as a mind coach and hypnotist.  In this role through his clinic MindScope he helps people overcome their fears, give up smoking, lose weight and accomplish their goals.

Enjoy and thank you to Tony for making this available to our listeners.
