"The magic community mourns the loss of one of our most beloved and talented performers," they went on.
Easton was scheduled to perform one of his shows that evening, but was in the closet around 7:30p.m. local time — moments before he was supposed to take the stage, according to NBC Los Angeles.
Easton was well-known for his card magic and was adopted into Magic Castle's Hall of Fame over the years. In fact, no magician had earned more awards than Easton. However, fans are now speculating his depression had taken over.
