Fred Van Buren - Autographs

Autographs

After extensively touring ice arenas in Sweden with Circus Svennson, Van Buren was invited to perform his vanishing motorbike illusion at the Grand Palace, Brussels, as part of the 1979 FISM Congress of Magic, another occasion that received worldwide television coverage. Returning to Britain, Van Buren and Greta were mobbed by customs officers at Ostend. “We thought we were in big trouble,” said Van Buren, “But it turned out that they had seen us on television and wanted our autographs!”
