Meet CAndy Magic Cardini! 

 Cardini was a debonaire welsh-born magician originally named richard pitchford.  Most known for his performing style of pretending the magic was happening to him unbidden, rather than performing it, cardini did a beautiful non-talking act including appearing card fans, multiplying lighted cigarettes, and multiplying billiard balls.  He was so charming and elegant, he was the Fred astaire of magic!  My favorite story about him is that he learned magic in a hospital while recovering from a bomb that injured him as a soldier during wwi, and when he asked for white gloves to practice his card act, the nurses thought he was crazy and sent him to the mental ward before realizing their mistake!  It's a good thing he didn't ask for the billiard balls or he might have never gotten out!
