Home Counties Magical Society

Sadly, Mo Weller a long time member of HCMS passed away yesterday, 26th December 2011 at 1:30pm.

Ian Souch passed on the sad news of Mo's passing. Ian spoke to his niece, Diane, John Weller's daughter, who went up to be with him for his final days, and she said it was a very peaceful passing with people he loved.

Ian added that:

For me, it's really sad as he was the first magician I met on arrival in the UK almost 10 years ago. I saw an advert for a magic show at Shinfield Theatre. I met Mo there and he said I should join his magic club, HCMS. He contacted me after the show and introduced me to folks at the club and even orgainsed Terry Barry to show me his expert card handling and even how to do crazy mans handcuffs! (I really didn't know anything!). He also kindly took me under his wing and invited me to several of his gigs so I could practise magic, and get over being horribly shy. Goodness, what did you do Mo, they can't get me off the stage now!! He was a true showman, a great magician having tavellled the world with his magic, and a good friend. I will miss him.

Our condolences are sent to Mo's family and friends.
