Senor Mardo (1895? - 1976), born Charles in Cuba, performed as a full-time professional, close-up, club, and stage magician from the 1940s through the 1960s.
Born to French parents, which provided him with a French accent, he moved to the United States around 1912 and became a citizen around 1921. By 1954 he had won 22 magic trophies.
Mardo’s Egg Bags were made by his wife, Lynne Castel, who also performed the trick, which was described in Mardo’s first book, Routined Magic.
