I agree - very sorry to hear the news. A man that did card skills, not card tricks...

That's very sad. He was a master cardician and a joy to watch. :(

Thinking about another thread, Martin Nash was one of the nicest people. A huge loss in all respects.

Damn!

Marty was always one of my favorite people... just as a human being. He was also the only card worker I could sit and watch for hours :( :cry:

I really liked his performing persona. He even made me want (briefly) to be a finger-flinger.

RIP 'The Charming Cheat'.

Awful news. He was legendary.

I still love the vhs I have of him, and he is unexcusably flirting with a single lady in the audience.

Brilliant!
