The first one is Mandrake 30 years ago, and the second one is Jon Thompson (Tomo) ;)

The mustache one is Harry Blackstone, found that out by accident googling for the history of card magic!

Google images inverse search: you drop an image in the normal google image search bar, it tries and guess what the image is. In this case, it found a website with the very same picture.

Awesome utility - put in someone's picture and see who they look like, the results may not be what you expect! :D

I knew the second one was Harry Blackstone immediately. But I missed Rovi. I knew him slightly, and he was a wonderful entertainer. One of the very few who could actually entertain with a deck of cards. But the picture is missing something - I never saw the man without a smile.

"I never saw the man without a smile."

I did, when his thick card split.. :)

Rovi was nothing short of brilliant when it came to entertaining with a deck of cards.
