Nah its John Scarne, you never heard of him? You may remember him from such books as John Scarne On Card Tricks and The Amazing World of John Scarne.

That was really cool. Nice find!

Laughed when I read this lol

Cool vid btw

That was a great vid, can't beat the classic voice over man.

I nearly met him once. Years and years and years ago I was working in a shoe shop in London. I think I was around 18 years old. The manager of the shop was a gambler and used to frequent casinos. He told me had met a fellow the night before who made a selected card appear in his mouth.

I had a hunch and asked who it was. The manager nearly made me faint by saying "I think his name was John Scarne. He said he wrote a book on gambling"

I nearly went to the casino to meet him but I never did. I wish I had.

A real professional at work. Highly impressive and a great video clip find too.

Mark - Were you in B&W too in those olden times?

I am not sure about that but I was the first magician to appear on colour TV in Britain. The BBC told me that and I felt terribly important about it at the time.
Not that it matters a toss anymore.

Well its a unique claim to fame.
Makes me feel better about my age anyway.
You must have been around when the late and great David Nixon was about. He was the first magician I can recall seeing and he left quite an impression even if I can't remember the details.
