Featuring the graves of famous magicians and a few other celebrities. Death is an emotional issue and I make every effort to treat this topic with the respect it deserves. I do think we as magicians, have a duty to honor those who came before us and pay tribute to them. Anyone willing to share information and photos of graves of famous magicians, please contact me at info@carnegiemagic.com

The Kuda Bux Grave
Kuda Bux was known as The Man with X-Ray Eyes. I still vividly recall seeing one of his performances on TV and being dumbfounded by what I saw. I was told that at the time this performance took place, Kuda Bux was legally blind. I don't know if that was legit, but it sure made his exhibition even more impressive.
Kuda Bux died February 5, 1981 and is buried in Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills Cemetery. He is apparently buried in an unmarked grave behind the church as you enter the cemetery.
Forest Lawn Hollywood Hill Cemetery is located at 6300 Forest Lawn Drive Los Angeles, CA 90068
I believe the church is called The Church of the Hills, as that is the closest one to the front gate.
I want to thank Bill Bowers for graciously providing the information on Kuda's final resting place.

The Grave of Anna Eva Fay
Here is the private mausoleum of famed mind reader and medium Anna Eva Fay. Though not a traditional magician in the sense we think of, she did use magic techniques to accomplish her feats. She admitted in her later years that she was a fake. Though during her time she fooled everyone!
