Karlheinz Stockhausen - toured Germany in the early 50s as accompanist to stage magician Adrion!

If this Pixies reunion thing really goes through, would David Lovering qualify? I guess he wasn't an assistant, but it's close.

Penn Jilette plays in a band occasionally. (yer gonna have to allow some leeway on this question.)

You're right - let's just make it "Musicians Who Became Musicians After Their Careers As Stage Magician's or Stage Magician's Assistants Failed" - and then sit back and watch the suggestions roll in!

In a moment of curiousity to see if David Blane were dead yet, I looked up this story .. Not musically related, but funny as hell:

"I've come to say I saw him, so I can tell my grandchildren. Like people say, 'I saw Houdini,' or 'I saw Blondin.' I saw David Blaine."

My much battered faith in the Great British public was restored, if only briefly, by their reaction to this idiot:

"Since he entered the dangling box on Sept. 5, Blaine has been jeered, pelted with eggs and awakened by drummers. A tabloid newspaper grilled hamburgers under his box. A toy helicopter was sent up to dangle a cheeseburger in front of him."

Gimme that Union Jack, "Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves!" etc
