Lloyd Wasser edited (and partially wrote) the Silver Wand Club newsletter The Wand (also called Inner Circle) in Toronto in the 1970s.[1]

Lloyd started in magic after watching the hit 1975 television series "The Magician" starring actor Bill Bixby (also famous for his role as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk TV series). Using the resources of his local library, Lloyd studied the history of magic and built many of his own effects as a result of his studies, including the infamous "Henrietta the Chicken" effect (considered by fellow Magician Ari Soroka to be one of the worst magical effects ever presented) as well as the "balls in tube" effect.
