Bill Malone is an American magician who specializes in card magic, close-up magic and bar magic.
Malone was raised in Chicago, Illinois and became interested in magic at the age of 17. He is a protégé of Ed Marlo[1] and a recipient of the Merlin Award from the International Magicians Society. He appeared on the first World's Greatest Magic Special, World's Wildest Magic Special, as well as Champions of Magic Special.
Malone moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he owned and operated a comedy magic club called Houdini's Pub. He later created Malone's Magic Bar, also in Florida.[2]
