Ed Solomon is a retired music teacher who spent thirty-five
years in the public school classroom teaching young children how
to make music. Unknown to many of the musical circles, magic has
been a lifelong interest and avocation dating back to the early
forties when he first saw traveling magicians and the U.S.O.
shows. A storyteller, he has been involved in magic in one form
or another for over sixty- five years.
A published composer, author and arranger of educational
materials, Solomon enjoys a quiet retirement in San Antonio,
Texas. Active in the I. B. M., I.C.B.M., he is also co-founder
of bizarre group known as the Spellbinders. A serious dabbler in
the Arcane Arts, he is a lecturer and inventor of things magical
while still being a curious skeptic. He has authored fourteen
books of presentations for the storyteller. (See the "Solomon in
print" section.)
His most recent performance venues have included each of The
Phoenix Gatherings, T.A.O.M. conventions 1994-98 and 2005, the
I.C.B.M. Gatherings and the Charles Cameron Memorial Gathering
in Scotland
A frequent contributor to the Shadow Digest, Solomon has been
published in the Linking Ring and the M.U.M., Smoke and Mirrors,
The Altar Flame, Behind The Smoke And Mirrors, AM/PM magazine,
Pennsylvania Magazine and some of his early work can be found in
Abbott’s NEW TOPS ILLUSIONS, circa 1965, which is still
available from your favorite dealer. He is currently writing a
monthly column for the LINKING RING called “STORYTELLING IS
MAGIC.”
Large portions of his crafted materials and ideas can be seen on
the European site called Dragonskull.
He holds the Order of Merlin from the I.B.M. and the Order of
Willard from the T.A.O.M. He has also logged over twenty-five
years as a member of S.A.M.
“Artsy Craftsy” is a term used to describe such dabblers but
forgiveness and absolution can be granted when you see the
materials he has created. A serious flea-market connoisseur,
many of his elaborate props started out as flea-market finds. He
once described flea-marketing as a religious experience. “You
always see people doing unto others and see all that junk and
say aloud, thank God this isn’t mine and I don’t have to take it
home.” Another of his quotes says, “A Sunday without
flea-marketing is like a day without sunshine.”
In his role as a magical “Watson,” he reports the happenings and
presentations of his “Holmes-like” friend, DeNomolos, sage, mage
etc. A devotee to the art of presentation, Solomon will amuse
and confuse you but always entertain you in the craft.
Thank you to my son Greg for all the hard work in constructing
this website...
