I once saw Harry at Snoqualmie Falls, Washington. It was 1994 and I was with my sister visiting, I saw him at a like 30 feet away and I took a double look. We got eye contact and I immediately thought of how he was on vacation and probably trying to get away so I just gave him a nod and a smile and he did the same. I loved night court and IT. Rip Harry

He had move to Washington he lived in Issaquah WA. I ran into him a a professional magic shop in Seattle called Micky Hades he gave me the handcuffs he used in this clip and on Saturday Night Live I will always remember how nice he was to me I can't believe I'm just hearing about his death now.

I love how he once mentioned (and made no secret of) that he had once been a street hustler. He almost sounded proud of it. But there was no malice, no sense of derision toward the people he scammed.

[@EricHenning]

So many years later, I think it’s safe now to reveal that the gentleman on Harry’s left who lent him one of the fives is a wonderful magician and magic historian named Mike Caveney. They started together in the Long Beach Mystics and later in the Magic Castle Juniors as teens. I can tell you Mike has nothing to do with the trick. He’s just there so Harry can abuse him without risking getting a punch in the face. The jokes had to work - this was being taped for TV.

[@josephconstantine1799]

[@rogerrabbit80]

@@jeffburnham6611 Actually, this show was aired in 1986, and 'Night Court' began airing in 1984. Anderson's TV specials, including 'The Tricks of His Trade' were inspired by the popularity of 'Night Court' and his appearances on 'Cheers'.

I was born and raised in the PNW. Going into Seattle we always went to the wharf and saw the flying fish. Dad and I always went in the magic shop around the corner and remember seeing Harrys picture of him and the owner hanging on the wall. I went and showed my girlfriend - wife now - the steps we always took down there and showed her the magic shop and specifically pointed at the pic of Harry and the owner... we were the only ones in the shop, as it was closing time... and we talked to the owner a bit and told him the story.. he smiled and yelled for Harry to come out, he did... he was in town and stopping by to see his old friend. Shook his hand introduced him to my girlfriend and thanked him for the laughs on the show.. he said what about the magic?? I said, you do magic?? the shop owner started to laugh and said see never thought you were good at it... Harry laughed and said I like you kid.. we wished him a good night...

We came across a guy and his accomplices scamming the crowd with the 3-card Monte game. He played a hand that was winnable for all to see, and let a lady win, undoubtedly his girlfriend. I remembered what Harry said at the end of this show with his oversized card trick, so I was just observing and taking it all in. But when the local hustler played the next hand, I was shocked to see two of my buddies stumpeing down $20 each which of course they lost. They learned the hard way.
