This is terrible news. Rene Lavand was a gentleman and amazing card man. had the honor and pleasure to interview him on stage at the International Magic Convention in London a couple of years ago. His performances were mesmerizing.

Two in one day. A Giant and a Journeyman. This is turning out to be a pretty lousy day. I'm staying off the Internet for a while.

As Billy Mc Comb used say, "I'm always confused whenever I meet Rene Levand as I never know which hand to shake."

Re: Sad to report ---- RENE LAVAND
The amount of coverage in the general Spanish language media seems like a testament to how much he was admired and respected as a performer. Nice to see that his passing is being recognized outside of the magic community.

Re: Sad to report ---- RENE LAVAND
Rene was recognized by his city, Tandil, a beautiful town in the middle of Buenos Aires province
"The Municipality of Tandil decreed three days of mourning following the death of Hector Rene Lavandera, world-renowned artist known as René Lavand, cultural ambassador Tandil, an example of life. The national flag will be at half mast on all public buildings in the city" {Google translate}
Chau Rene, amigo, mentor y maestro.
