Who was John Calvert?
Madren Elbern "John" Calvert was an American magician who performed on stage 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 the part of a magician."
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.
