Alright, Mark McPhee scores bonus points on that one. Well done!
This pic was taken at the Magic Castle. the year was 1992 (I think) and I was performing in the Parlor of Prestidigitation. Tony watched my whole act with a stone face. He did not smile, laugh or react. I thought he just didn't dig my style. Later he came up to me at the bar, introduced himself and told me how much he enjoyed my act. I felt like using the line, "You could have told your face". As we threw back cocktails and smoked our cigars he shared with me some stories about the early days at the Castle and how the Close Up Room was his idea.
Fascinating man.
