Tony Andruzzi

Picture of Tony Andruzzi, magician, sorcerer and bizarrist

Tony Andruzzi (May 22, 1925 – December 22, 1991) was the name adopted by professional magician Tom Stewart Palmer from the age of 45 to the end of his life. He was married from 1947 to 1964 to Gloria Jacobsen, also known as Gloria Marcom.

Biography

Born to Fay and Tom McGuire in Cheyenne, Wyoming on May 22, 1925, he was first christened as Timothy McGuire on July 22, 1925. But after Tom McGuire left Fay to raise the boy alone, Fay allowed Charles and Gertie Palmer to adopt the child.

He was rechristened Tom Stewart Palmer on March 29, 1926. His biological mother maintained a friendly relationship with the Palmer family, although did not divulge the nature of her relationship to Tom until his teens. As a performer through the late 1960s, he retained the name of Tom Palmer while specializing in comedy magic. When he moved to Chicago, Illinois, and changed styles to pursue bizarre magic, he adopted the name Tony Andruzzi, both in performance and in daily life.

Andruzzi died in Chicago, Illinois on December 22, 1991, at the age of 66.
