Lennart Green

Sven Lennart Green (born 25 December 1941) is a Swedish world champion close-up/card magician, a title which he won in 1991 at the FISM convention in Lausanne, Switzerland.

[3] His original techniques and presentation style form an unorthodox and innovative contribution to sleight of hand magic.

He competed at the 1988 FISM convention in The Hague, Netherlands, and was erroneously disqualified because the judges believed he had used stooges in his act to shuffle the cards.

[5] In 1991, he performed the same act but insisted that the judges themselves shuffle the cards to prove that he wasn't using stooges.

[9] In 2014 Green suffered a stroke that prevented him from performing lectures in the following months, but has since fully recovered.
