The Great Ballantine!

/RIP

I honestly thought he died years ago. Same with Soupy Sales.

my favorite mchales navy guy! joe flynn - dead or alive?

Joe Flynn died july 19th 1974 @ the age of 49, due to drowning in his swimming pool weighted down by a cast on his leg, after he had a heart attack.

Oh sad...Just saw something from the 80's with him in it...Even then he was looking ancient.

I can saw a woman in two but you wouldn't want to look in the box when I'm through... (new window)


RIP Magic Man.

Cool story, bro!

Didn't know he was still alive. He was an original, corny, funny man. R.I.P Lester.

Can you say "Nip sub!" on TV anymore?

goodnight sweet beerman..

I saw his act on Tv occasionally, years ago. He was the funniest magician around.

Illusion micheal, tricks are what whores do for money...or cocaine.

Man is that a blast from the past! He was one of the first comedian/illusionists and really wasn't supplanted as the best until Penn and Teller appeared on the scene.

Has no remorse, the bastage.

Came for this.


Also:


My last trick was better!

Well, that was his job, he was an illusionist.

But he never reappeared.

He wasn't a very good illusionist.

When will the government do something about the dangers of autoerotic asphyxiation?

Sorry Ballantine, best final trick (new window)

Dead. He passed away in 1974.

The Fabulous Falconi! (Night Court) was one of my favorite roles for him.

Rip but honestly I thought he died back in the 70's

Put me in the "Wow, he was alive!" category.

I had no idea that he was a magician as well as an actor, but he holds a
special place in my heart nevertheless:

There is a classroom building at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ,
called Ballantine Hall, and for years one of the signs had been defaced to
add the word CARL over BALLANTINE.

It was where the Rutgers University Gamers met every Friday night. Possibly
they still do meet there, I don't know.

RIP funny oogy boogy man.

The best looking guy you'll ever hear.
