George Sands was a pioneering magician whose innovative contributions left a lasting impact on the world of magic. Born in 1920, George began practicing magic at age 17 and soon became an active member of the New York City magic scene, mentored by Dr. Abe Hurwitz, father of Shari Lewis (of Lamb Chop fame). He quickly made a name for himself by joining the renowned “Legerdemainiac,” a group that included such luminaries as George Schindler, Frank Garcia, Howard Schwarzman, and Ken Krenzel.
