There is a fantastic article about John Gaughan Stephanie by Rosenbloom in the New York Times. The article covers Johns workshop, and experience in restoring many many rare and unique magical artifacts. There is no street entrance to his workshop, a former 1930s aircraft school alongside railroad tracks on a dry, industrial stretch of road that straddles the city limits of Los Angeles and Glendale. Visitors must drive around back, past stacks of steel beams and cans of spray paint, toward a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. At 68, John's well know to any magicia, but the article contains some great information about John past, the start of his magicial career at age 14, working for Mark Wilson, before following him to move to Los Angeles, and eventually taking over the workshop as his own. The article also has an audio and slide show interview with John, as well as many great photos of inside the workshop. The full article can be found here
