The Great Cardini, born Richard Pitchford in 1895, is easily one of the greatest sleight of hand magicians and this clip of one his routines should serve of evidence of his awesomeness.
Elements from this routine have been used by many of today’s magicians, including Lance Burton, who I’m sure has seen this clip more times than he could count. No insult to Lance, I’m just positive he must absolutely love Cardini!
Remember: Things aren’t always what they seem!
