- The other night on a ten year old Paul Daniels TV show
- there was a very talented magician. Unfortunately I missed
- his introduction and the closing credits.
-
- He spoke with a very heavy Spanish accent (possibly South American)
- and performed card tricks entirely with his left hand (he was
- possibly missing his right hand). These all involved various
- shufflings and rearrangments of the positions of cards within
- a deck. One trick in particular consisted of three black and
- three red cards that he would arrange into one order and then
- display as being in a completely different order. He repeated
- the trick several times, each time more slowly, and each time
- exposing more of the cards as he placed them to ensure that
- everyone knew for sure which card was which.
-
- Does anyone know who this performer was?
