Bust of Ren Lavand in a Tandil, Argentina city park
Hctor Ren Lavandera, usually known as Ren La-vand (24 September
1928 7 February 2015), was amagician from Argentina specialising in
close-up perfor-mance. He appeared in Ed Sullivan's and Johnny
Car-son's television shows as well as shows at Hollywood'sMagic
Castle.After losing a hand at the age of 9 in a car crash, La-vand
endured a gradual entry into the magic world, self-taught because,
in his own words, all books and tech-niques are for two-handed
magicians. After working asa cashier in a bank, at the age of 32 he
appeared in BuenosAires Tabars Theater, following which his career
tookoff, leading to world tours. The catchphrase he used toclose
several of his tricks is "No se puede hacer ms lento"(Spanish for
it cannot be done any slower), referencingthe intentional slow pace
at which he performs.In between international tours, he resided in
Tandil,Argentina and adapted a train wagon which he turnedinto a
magic saloon where he taught illusion. He alsoco-wrote (with
Richard Kaufman) the book Mysteries
of my Life. The book is an autobiography as well as
aninstructional book on Renes magic.Lavand died of pneumonia at the
Chacabuco Clinic inTandil, aged 86.[1]
