Gérard Majax is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed illusionists of his generation.

Popular illusionist Gérard Majax (Récré A2, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Majax, a cultural icon

Born Gérard Faier in Nice on April 28, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Majax's not just a great illusionist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Gérard hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gérard Majax as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 82.

Happy Birthday, Gérard, you're the best!
