Richard Pitchford

The Great Cardini was quite simply the greatest close up magician that has ever lived. His cigarette, card and billiard ball maipulation act is still seen as the best and most flawless of all time.

Connection: Born in Swansea, 1895

I have seen some footage of his act and quite frankly it is nothing short of incredible. He was also a performer of great charm in the guise of his drunken aristocrat.
