Eugene Burger (June 1, 1939 – August 8, 2017) was an American magician. He was born in 1939 and was based in Chicago, Illinois. He was acclaimed for his close-up skills and his work in mentalism and bizarre magic.[1]

Burger was also a philosopher and a historian of religion. He had degrees in philosophy and earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1964 from Yale University[2] and taught university courses in comparative religion and philosophy.

Burger frequently taught at the McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He was the author of books on the presentation of close up magic and was featured on several instructional DVDs and videos for magicians. He produced an audio program called Growing in the Art of Magic.[3]

Burger died of cancer in Chicago on August 8, 2017. He was 78.[1]
