Bob Longe (b. 1928) is a retired English teacher and ardent magic hobbyist from Michigan that authored numerous magic books for beginners. He also plays piano, tenor banjo, and ukulele.
Inspired by the big stage shows of the great illusionists Blackstone and Dante, he took up magic in the 1930s. In his teens he got to know some of Detroit's magicians including Harold Sterling, Milt Kort, Karrell Fox, Bob Lund, and Bob Stencil.
Early on, he wrote two booklets on card tricks: The Invisible Deck (published by the Ireland Magic) and The Visible Deck (self-published), before taking up writing again in the 1990s.
