Compeers,

It is with deep sorrow we mark the passing of one of our own, mentor and friend, Harry Riser. Harry passed on Saturday, November 26, 2016.

Harry had been involved with the magic community for nearly 75 years. He was a mentor to Michael Close and taught Penn & Teller how to perform the Faro shuffle. He was a friend to Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, and many other magicians from the golden age.

Harry's calling will be from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 30, 2016, at Crown Hill Funeral Home, immediately followed by the Funeral Service at 12:00 p.m. Taylor Martin will be performing the broken wand ceremony.

Crown Hill Funeral Home
700 38th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46208

A celebration of life will be held March 12, 2017, on the anniversary of Harry's birthday.

I hope a lot of you will be able to stop in and even stay for the service.

Magically,
Karen Miller
