John Calvert (magician) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Calvert (magician)
Madren Elbern "John" Calvert (August 5, 1911 – September 27, 2013) was an American magician who performed on stage (including Broadway) for eight decades both in the United States and worldwide. Siegfried and Roy cited him as an inspiration, and Bess Houdini said that he was second only to Harry Houdini in "play(ing) the part of a magician."〔(Actor and magician John Calvert, who performed in Las Vegas for decades, dies at 102 ), by Ed Koch, at the ''Las Vegas Sun''; published September 28, 2013; retrieved July 5, 2014〕 He was also a film actor who appeared in numerous movies and was the subject of a biographical documentary entitled ''John Calvert – His Magic and Adventures''.〔(Exclusive John Calvert Video | Magician.org )〕 The Society of Young Magicians (S.Y.M.) Assembly #29 of the Boston area was solely named after John Calvert until 2012 when David Oliver was also added to the name. ==Early years== Calvert was born in New Trenton, Indiana and became fascinated with magic at age eight when his father took him to see the magician Howard Thurston perform in Cincinnati, Ohio. Shortly afterward, he performed his first trick for his Sunday school class - he made an egg appear from under another boy’s coat.〔 He made his initial magic tour when he was eighteen, performing in town halls in Kentucky backroad towns. His small troupe consisted of one assistant and “Gyp the Wonder Dog”. He returned home with a $2.65 profit.
