Jerry Andrus

Magicana has added a new archive of films of magicians, shot between 1976 and 1981 by Canadian collector Larry Thornton. In this Take Two, I have selected nine newly discovered vintage films, featuring six previous Take Two subjects, with links to the original essays to guide you along the way.

Jerry Andrus was as brilliant as he was eccentric—which is saying something—in fact, saying quite a lot.

New video clips added to Magicana's online archive, The Screening Room, featuring the unusual magic of Jerry Andrus and finesse of the Charming Cheat, Martin Nash.
