Rachel and Aldo used to go on big lecture tours frequently. In 2011 they gave their final 'Farewell Tour'. With farewell they only mean farewell to big lecture tours, not farewell to magic. Rachel and Aldo will continue to be very active in magic, produce new DVDs and I am sure we will still see them now and then at conventions and other magic happenings. If you have not been able to see their farewell lecture then here is your chance to acquire a very special ebook.
Here in their own words:
After careful thought and deliberation, Rachel and I have decided that this will be our final lecture tour of the USA and Canada. Many of you will be aware of Rachel’s health situation in 2010 and although she is now fully recovered we have decided that the time has come for us to slow down the constant touring around the globe and remain home based producing DVDs, books and tricks. Also, unfortunately, Aldo is not getting any younger!
We have both travelled extensively for many years (in over 60 countries) and our lives have been enriched beyond all measure by the people we have met and the places we have visited and you have all graciously invited us into your lives and some into your kitchens! It has been our life! And it has been an unforgettable ride! And we love it enough and each other enough to know when it is time to say ‘goodbye’...and, with a little bit of sadness, now it is the right time. We will still attend the odd magic convention around the world occasionally but this will be the last lecture TOUR in the United States and Canada.Thanks for coming to join us to say farewell! We hope to see as many of you as possible to share these very special moments with us.
