The Estes’ decorated their basement walls with over 1,000 photographs of the great and near-great of the magician and theatrical world, all personally autographed. Above the couch is a large photo of Estes with his Super Safety Patrolman, Willie and Kenny Talk. A full-time magician, he performed daily before Kentucky’s school children, teaching them safety rules though the medium of magic. Herald-Leader Archive Photo
