Magic Tuesday : Vintage Trick #12 One Handed !

As usual, it is Magic Tuesday and you can come join us at The Cariatides to have a drink and enjoy some magic tricks. Looking forward to seeing you ;-)
I told you last week I will dedicate this Tuesday to René Lavand that gave a lecture at the Magic Convention so here it is.
Héctor René Lavandera usually known as René Lavand is born in Buenos Aires in 1928. René is a magician from Argentina specialising in close-up performance. After losing a hand at the age of 9 in a car crash, Lavand endured a gradual entry into the magic world, self-taught because, in his own words, all books and techniques are for two-handed magicians. After working as a cashier in a bank, at the age of 32 he appeared in Buenos Aires' Tabarís Theater, following which his career took off, leading to world tours.
In between international tours, he resides in Tandil, Argentina and has adapted a train wagon which he turned into a magic saloon where he teaches illusion.



The catchphrase he uses to close several of his tricks is "No se puede hacer más lento" (Spanish for "it can't be done any slower"), referencing the intentional slow pace at which he performs.
