- The man was Rene Lavand. He is from South America and does only have one
- hand. He lost his right hand in an accident when he was eight years old.
- He has a book out and I believe that Joe Stevens has made a video of his
- work.
-
- I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lavand and watching him work at last
- year's Desert Seminar in Las Vegas. His performance was one of the most
- moving magical performances that I have ever witnessed. The man is truly an
- artist.
