Martin Allan Nash Template:PersonInfo, born in Canada, was a close-up card magician who specialized in gambling/cheating demonstrations. He billed himself as the "Charming Cheat" and was a regular at The Magic Castle, where he frequently received standing ovations for his Castle act, appropriately dubbed "Ovation." Upon Nash's death, Bob Farmer wrote on the Genii Forum that, when he was doing research on marked cards, he spoke with a forensics expert at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who told him Nash had helped them catch cheats working the lumber camps of British Columbia.[1]
