From the Paper Home News Tribune 2 27 1996 For a young boy during the 1960's the light of the marquee meant that it was time to race through the red velvet ropes inside the loew's theater in Newark NJ to get a glimpse of the latest picture show in town. It shown Tony Curtis as Houdini , a magician whose spellbinding feat mesmerized George Unbehauen who ran out of that theater that day to begin his lifelong journey into the world of magic. He is better known to the hundreds of children he has entertained over the years as "Unbei." For more than 20 years, Unbehauen has turned his game of chance,skill and illusion into a part-time profession that all began during his teen-age years. "That Houdini Movie inspired me." Unbei Stated, “I thought it was the greatest thing to see him get out of the straight jacket, after the movie I went to see my school librarian and took out every book he had on magic." Unbei who talked about the days he lived in Newark NJ and would walk 20 blocks to Mecca Magic Inc., in Bloomfield NJ to purchase some of his first books on magic. Unbei current collection of more than 300 books on magic currently is squeezed into what has become a makeshift library is a small room in his house in South River, which is especially arranged to accommodate Unbei¹s literary needs--and to weak havoc on his wife Katherine, who cannot understand how her husband can work in a room she feels is desperately need of a dust cloth. While in college, Montclair State College in the 1960 s , Unbei performed for his friends and follow students for free but soon realized his skill could earn him the mush needed cash he had to come up with in order to continue paying his tuition-- and stay in school. "After I started performing on campus people would approach me and ask me to do a magic show for their children. I performed for free at first , to learn which tricks worked best. When I did get paid, I could pay for my books with money, but that was about it." Word spread of Unbei s unusual talents, and soon he was earning money--but not nearly what he needed to pay his tuition. Unbei recall how he and the thenunknown Bruce Willis, who co-starred with Unbei in the college¹s production of 'Born Yesterday,' Both left school before graduating. Willis eventually claimed television fame in the hit series, "Moonlighting," While Unbei, after attending school for two years, moved on to perform his magic elsewhere. Doing parties as both Magician and then a clown, at children s parties. Over time he has perfumed for both children and adults in places such as offices , long-term care centers and veteran¹s hospitals. "I got a job not too long after I left school," Unbei i explained ,"I always did my magic on the side after that. I never thought I would become the next David Copperfield " To his friends and family, his talent as both a magician and a Clown continue to earn his the highest praise. Currently teaching in introductory magic and clown course through Matawan Middle School¹s Student Enrichment Program.
