Stewart Judah (February 16, 1893 – June 11, 1966) began a career in magic in 1920. By 1938 he was selected as one of the 10 best living card magicians.[1]

Named one of the "Card Stars" in Hilliard's Greater Magic and featured in Pallbearer's Review. He contributed effects to many magazines including Jinx, Phoenix, New Phoenix, Talisman and Linking Ring.[2]

One of his marketed effects was the "Keys of Judah".

Each year, International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 71 holds a yearly picnic combined with the local Society of American Magicians, featuring the time-honored John Braun/Stewart Judah contest.[3]
