THE MAGIC SPOTLIGHT                      Article number 6 in a continuing series             Ring 200 Trustee; Norman Rosen                            Norm Rosen was born in Pennsylvania on his birthday!!!!!!   After graduating high school he joined the Navy and served in the Korean War; participated in the Atomic Bomb tests in the Marshall Islands, and after attending a Navy school he served on an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic. President Truman thought the Navy needed him so badly they extended his enlistment an extra year in which time he met the love of his life, PHYLLIS. They started their journey in life, which included four children, their spouses and six grandchildren, and a business career of 45 years. Then he retired.

In 1977 he was exposed to MAGIC which, next to his wife and family, was the best thing that has ever happened to him. He has been entertaining, teaching and mentoring and just having a good time ever since. For many years he has been volunteering doing shows, lounge shows and bedside magic at Robert Wood Johnson, Bristol-Myers Children’s Hospital, which has been a very gratifying and fulfilling endeavor on a personal level. His commitment, dedica-tion, and enthusiasm to the children at RWJ-BMS has spilled over to his fellow magicians, and now Norman leads a team of magic volunteers each month to cheer-up and bring smiles to the faces of those kids unfortunate enough to be in the hospital.

Norm is a Past President of SAM Assembly 161; a Trustee of IBM Ring 200; a member of the John McNicholas Magicians Round Table, and The Magicians Alliance of Eastern States.His magic friends and magic itself are the joys of life.
