Paul Curry (1917–1986) war der Vizepräsident der Blue Cross Versicherungsgesellschaft in New York und ein bekannter Zauberkünstler, der unter Magiern vor allem wegen seinen innovativen Ideen in der Kartenmagie bekannt wurde.
Many magicians have performed illusions and effects created by Curry. Doug Henning used Curry's "The Sliding Knot" in one of his TV specials. Curry's most famous creation is Out of This World, a self-working card trick that he created in 1942, at the age of 25. Curry is the author of a number of books and manuscripts dealing with his many original magical creations.
He has also been credited with inventing the missing square puzzle.[1]
On 12 March 1977, the Academy of Magical Arts at The Magic Castle awarded Paul Curry a "Creative Fellowship" award.
