Sandy Marshall posted the following on his Facebook timeline:

"Just learned that my friend, John Calvert has died at the age of 102. John was a true legend in magic. He was a brilliant magician, a gentleman, and a true friend. John performed on Broadway, was in 40 films, and starred in a dozen of them. He was a professional throughout eight decades and performed all over the world. I had the honor of sharing the stage with him in London at the Magic Circle Centenary in 2005. Our sympathy goes out to his wife, Tammy and his family. RIP, old friend. You will be missed."
