Juan Tamariz

Juan Tamariz-Martel Negrón (born 18 October 1942) is a Spanish magician.

Tamariz is considered to have pioneered close-up card magic. American stage magician Ricky Jay once said he considered him to be a magician people will remember, and he was referred to as "the greatest and most influential card magician alive" by David Blaine. Tamariz performed at FISM in 2006 in Stockholm, 2009 in Beijing, China, 2015 in Rimini, Italy and 2018 in Busan, South Korea.[failed verification]

A celebrity of television and stage in Spain and South America, Tamariz has authored six books translated into English: The Five Points in Magic, The Magic Way, Sonata, Mnemonica, Verbal Magic, and The Magic Rainbow.[citation needed]

Among magicians, Juan Tamariz is also famous for the school of thought in close-up magic, which he founded together with Arturo de Ascanio.

Tamariz appeared regularly on Spanish television over the span of almost 2 decades.

In 1994, he appeared on the NBC special The World’s Greatest Magic.

Screening in theatres in 2024, the documentary Lost In The Shuffle sees Shawn Farquhar explore the centuries-old mysteries hidden in a deck of cards, while visiting fellow magicians, including Juan Tamariz, to explore their favourite card tricks.
