John and Tammy Calvert Stranded on Florida River

Wednesday October 26, 2005
This article discusses the four tornadoes that ripped through Central Florida on Monday. A couple mentioned in the article is none other than magicians John and Tammy Calvert, who were stranded on the Banana River after their 67-foot yacht broke its mooring. Unfortunately, we don’t know the outcome and hope that the legendary magician (age 94) and his wife are safe.

Is this the same John Calvert that owned a yacht call “The Thespian” that toured the Hawaiian islands in the 1950’s?

My father was on that yacht. He turns 90 tomorrow. Please let me know.

John and Tammy were frequent guests at my folks place in NJ. Trying to reach them, as my Dad passed away, and they would want to know. His biography by William Rauscher reads like quite an adventure story.
