Jean Hugard (John Gerard Rodney Boyce, 1871-1959) was an Australian-born magician who became famous for his stage acts which placed him firmly among the pantheon of conjuring greats. He authored over 30 books on magic, was editor of "Hugard's Magic Monthly," and was officially named "Dean of Magicians" by the Society of American Magicians in 1951.
