Simon Lovell (born 1957 in Manchester) is an English comedy magician and card shark. Two of his trademark pieces are finding an audience member's card in his mouth, and a humorous straitjacket escape. The author of sixteen books, including Billion Dollar Bunco, which covers cons and scams, he has a one-man off Broadway show called Strange and Unusual Hobbies. It has run for over a year at the SoHo Playhouse in NYC, and the Wall Street Journal complimented it by saying, "A dazzling 90 minute show."
