Rene Lavand Embraces Cardistry

Cardistry took a very unexpected turn over the last week as professional magician, Rene Lavand, decided to take on cardistry in addition to his usual magic. For those of you who do not know who Rene Lavand is, please get your head out of your buttocks. He is a one-handed magician. (He lost his hand in a car crash at the age of nine.)

"Well I obviously cannot do things like Pandora, but I did invent my own one-handed Sybil cut and I'm working on getting The Cobra down," reported Rene Lavand in a recent TMO interview.

Unexpected indeed.It seems that even the old time magicians are starting to embrace this art form which has only recently over the last few years started getting popular. We here at TMO are more than interested in seeing the One-Handed Sybil, but it seems that Rene refuses to release a tape at the current moment due to the fact that it's not quite perfected. We look forward to seeing this impossible-sounding cut soon.

Until then, we'll just keep wondering how the heck someone with one hand can somehow be a cardist. In the words of Brian Tudor: "Coming up with one-handed cuts isn't [Profanity Removed by TMO] easy."
