Lou loved the Magic Castle
Before Lou's mom went back to the east coast, she said she and Lou were going to the Magic Castle. She was trying to get me to do a simple magic trick on our friend Taggert, to which I kept refusing. She didn't understand that not everyone is into magic.
The real magic was when my husband was commissioned to design and build the trademark logo in stained glass by the Magic Castle family for their Victorian house. Inside holds a few theaters and behind the windows here is a huge restaurant. It is visible from the Mann's Chinese theater, the Nirvana apartments and the oldest house in hollywood. Inside this house across the street houses offices for the ASC who produces the Academy Awards.
The Magic Castle family then began plans to replace the plain glass windows in their Yamashiro Japanese-fusion restaurant with fused glass designs. The designs were to be less traditional, representing many asian cultures. My husband consulted with Lou for his glass fusing knowledge. When we moved to far from the L.A. area, he handed the project to Lou. This was to be the entire courtyard where scenes from Memoires of a Geisha were recently filmed, as well as the front windows to the restaurant.
At this point, Lou was not feeling well enough to work even part time physically as he was focusing on his health. Instead, he and I were collaborating on accenting his glass-fused pendants with unique necklaces and leather strings. We were in the final stages of creating his personal line.
On top of that, Lou was always working on his leather bags. That was to be our next step in marketing. He had just made Amber a double layer purse for her birthday, himself a shoulder bag with the Green Lantern logo on it and another bag for a beautiful girl he was seeing.
I apologize to the Magic Castle family for not being able to help more in restoring their property, but Lou was the best glass fusing artist we knew and he was very ill. My attention fell to seeing him well. He felt it the greatest honor to be recommened in finishing the Yamashiro project. He loved asian culture with a passion. He would have enjoyed seeing it through had he felt better.
