I'd like to learn as much as possible about Lennart Green and his magic.

Any thoughts?

One of the things that makes him such a brilliant card magician, like so many others, is he didn't take the typical route of following what we would call "essential" reading. He developed his own stuff from scratch.

indeed - he says in most of his vids that he just sits around all day messing about with his cards and sees what happens...plus, he's got the hands of a giant...if you have r. paul wilson as your 'helper' on the dvds - you've gotta be something a bit special...

he's the unicorn of card magic is lennart...

I would love to read a detailed biography (doesn't have to be a whole book!), if anyone knows of any interviews, biogs, articles online please let me know.
