Brother John Charles Hamman S.M.
(September 3, 1927 – December 5, 2000) was a close-up magician and Marianist Brother.
The tricks he invented are still an integral part of many close-up magician's repertoire.
Hamman was world-renowned in the magic community.
His initial interest in the art started as a child.
As he recuperated from polio, he spent hours learning, practicing and inventing card tricks and other magic involving sleight-of-hand.
In many cases, he "reinvented" classic maneuvers or streamlined them.
He was a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the Catholic Magicians' Guild and the Society of American Magicians.
