René Lavand, Jimmy Grippo and Juan Tamariz

‘René Lavand - The dramatic artistry of Lavand is most pronounced in his native Spanish which there are countless youtube videos. Finding him in English is a bit more difficult, so we bring you a video with an English interpreter. Having only one arm for card magic is astounding but what sets Lavand apart is the theatricality he brings to the close-up stage. No easy comedy here. It's excellent cardistry (with all one-handed technique he had to discover himself) and a life-long passion for the beauty of card magic.

Jimmy Grippo - Although a few appearances on the top TV talk shows of the era, Jimmy Grippo was NOT well-known to the public... unless you were a high-roller gambler at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Jimmy specialized in up-close magic at your table. (We're talking when Vegas was in its heyday!) He performed for royalty, millionaires, at Caesars, and around the world for heads of state. A master of his mythology and a master of his audience.  Jimmy didn't have to apply his technical prowess to his card magic, he provided intimate theater and private miracles to be one of the greatest of all time.

Juan Tamariz - (Dim lights, drumroll please...) Yes, he's wacky, off-the-wall, plays air violin, and you wouldn't believe he's accomplished at all but we have voted Tamariz the best card magician of all time. Underneath the facade of craziness lives a playing card magical genius who has been on television consistently all over the Spanish-speaking world for decades. In fact, mention his name to a Spaniard or South American over the age of 30 and you have a 90% chance they have watched him.’ (Source)
