About Gazzo

Gazzo is the professional name of British street magician, author and lecturer Gary Osbourne. He became especially influential for a large, comedic cups-and-balls routine developed for outdoor audiences and for preserving the story and card work of Walter Irving Scott in Phantoms at the Card Table. Specialist catalogues continue to distribute his books and recorded lectures, and his 2011 Fool Us appearance verifies the billed identity. Research found no reliable current performer-controlled website, recent booking route, present home base or strong first-party evidence of ongoing public performance, so this should remain a historical bare profile.
