Simon Aronson (1943–December 10, 2019) was an American magician and lawyer. He is noted for the Aronson stack and the trick Shuffle-Bored. He was the son of Arnold Aronson, the brother of Bernard W. Aronson, and first cousin of Si Kahn.
Two of his tricks were featured on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, both performed by other magicians: Prior Commitment, performed by Graham Jolley (which fooled Penn and Teller); and Shuffle-Bored, performed by Christopher Tracy and Jim Leach (which did not[clarification needed]; Penn noted he was already well-acquainted with the trick).
