American magician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
J. B. Bobo (11 February 1910 in Texarkana, Texas – 12 September 1996)[1][2] was a magician most known for his work and writing in the arena of coin magic.
His work entitled Modern Coin Magic (originally published in 1952)[3] is still considered today to be a core reference by most magicians.
He also wrote Watch This One! — a collection of magical effects performable with small objects. He once disappointed a young crowd due to having a car accident while attempting to drive to a show at Howell Elementary in Springhill, Louisiana.
Bobo's great-grandfather was Jean Beaubeaux who, when immigrating to America, was induced[clarification needed] to spell his name 'Bobo', a phonetic transliteration of the French Beaubeaux into English.
