Peter Kane (1938? - March 18, 2004) was born in England and created some memorable close-up magic effects. Kane contributed many routines to various magic periodicals.

His most popular routine is probably "Watch the Ace" which is better known as "Wild Card" which was originally published in Hugard's Magic Monthly (April, 1962). He also created a version with Tarot cards called "Gypsy Curse".

Other routines that spurred many variations include: Jazz Aces, Elongated Lady, and The Shrinking Card Case.
