John Larkin is an Irish former professional player, three-time National Champion, and 2014 Irish Pro Points Champion. His playing career was quite lengthy, spanning from the 1997 World Championships right through to the 2014 World Magic Cup.
Personal life
An avid Skiier, John is on record as saying he would prioritise his annual Canadian winter holiday if it clashed with a Pro Tour event.[1]
| “ | Now that he's probably back on the gravy train, Larkin expects to be attending all the big events this coming year... except maybe the Asian Pro Tour in March. "I always go skiing that time of year," Larkin explained, "in Canada. Skiing is better than Magic." | ” |
He would attend that Asian Pro Tour, held in Yokohoma May 2003, but missed the cut to Day 2.
