René Lavand
Magician
Argentinian magician known for his close-up illusions and performances.
After losing his hand when he was nine, he still felt compelled to practice magic. He did this without much help, as most magic books are geared toward two-handed magicians.
He has performed all over the world, and had his own illusionist show at Hollywood's The Magic Castle.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He and fellow magician Mike Caveney have both performed at The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.
