Much too young. B and I ran into him in Seattle around 1996. We were at a Penn and Teller show, getting our tickets at the booth. There was a very tall man with a fedora in front of us. He was trying to get tix and the cashier told him that his had been comped. When he turned around and I saw who it was, I gave him a wink and said, "hmm... I wonder why." I was rewarded with a big grin. He was an excellent magician and very funny guy. Beep, beep Ritchie.
