Oh dear, what a shame. Actually, I thought he died a decade or so ago, so I'm not as sad as would otherwise be expected.

Sad news indeed. One of the first card tricks I ever learned was from a Gardner book.

This is yet another great loss to us all. :cry:

Never even heard about this until now - I don't even know if all of his contributions can be counted!
