Yannis (later John) Alexis Mardas (Greek: Αλέξης Μάρδας; 2 May 1942 – 13 January 2017), also known as Magic Alex, was a Greek electronics engineer who was closely associated with the Beatles. His nickname was given to him by John Lennon when he was involved with the group between 1965 and 1969, during which time he became head of Apple Electronics. Mardas arrived in England in 1965, exhibiting his Kinetic Light Sculptures at the Indica Gallery. He impressed John Lennon with the Nothing Box: a small plastic box with randomly blinking lights, and allegedly claimed that he could build a 72-track tape machine. Mardas was in India with the Beatles at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India and was then given the job of designing the new Apple Studio in Savile Row. His schemes lost Apple at least £300,000 (£5.54 million in 2021 pounds). In the 1970s, the anti-terrorism industry offered bullet-proof vehicles, bugging devices and security hardware, so Mardas set up companies offering these products to VIPs. King Hussein of Jordan bought a fleet of cars that Mardas had customised, but then reportedly had the changes reversed when tests demonstrated them to be useless. In 1987, Mardas was a managing director of Alcom Ltd, which specialised in electronic communications and security. He later returned to Greece. Yanni Alexis Mardas, později John Alexis Mardas, zvaný Magic Alex (2. května 1942, Athény – 13. ledna 2017 , Athény) byl řecký vynálezce, známý jako ředitel elektrotechnického oddělení firmy Apple Corps. Studoval athénskou polytechniku, na studentské vízum přijel v roce 1965 do Londýna a živil se jako opravář televizorů. Vystavoval své světelné instalace v , kterou provozoval , manžel Marianne Faithfullové a přítel mnoha rockových hvězd. V galerii se Mardas seznámil s Johnem Lennonem, na kterého jeho světelné a zvukové efekty udělaly velký dojem. Mardas Lennonovi slíbil pomoc s koupí řeckého ostrova, kde by mohli The Beatles v klidu trávit dovolenou, zúčastnil se s ním cesty do Indie za guruem Maharišim a složili spolu píseň What's the New Mary Jane. V lednu 1968 byl Mardas jmenován zaměstnancem firmy Apple Corps a dostal k dispozici moderní laboratoř, kde pracoval na řadě svých převratných vynálezů, jako byl automobil měnící barvu na požádání, silové pole oddělující při koncertech kapelu od publika, telefon s hlasovou pamětí nebo nový zvukový nosič v podobě plastového jablíčka s přehrávačem uvnitř, které znemožní kopírování desek. Žádný z těchto projektů nespatřil světlo světa, což Mardas zdůvodnil požárem laboratoře. Beatles mu i nadále důvěřovali a nechali se přesvědčit, že Mardas pro ně zbuduje supermoderní nahrávací studio se 72 stopami, které nahradí podle něj nevyhovující Abbey Road Studios. Nakonec však vytvořil nevyhovující paskvil a nový manažer skupiny Allen Klein ho propustil. V sedmdesátých letech se Mardas zabýval snahou vytvořit neprůstřelný automobil, který by prodával předním státníkům. Žádný z jeho prototypů však nebyl použitelný. Od té doby žil v Athénách z prodeje různých upomínek na Beatles. Vyhrál řadu soudních sporů s novináři, kteří ho označili za podvodníka.

Mardas arrivò in Inghilterra nel 1965, esibendo le sue Kinetic Light Sculptures alla di Londra. Impressionò John Lennon con la Nothing Box: una piccola scatola di plastica con luci intermittenti; e poi gli dichiarò di essere in grado di costruire un banco mixer a 72 piste, cosa inaudita per l'epoca quando lo standard erano macchine a 4 piste. Nel 1968 Mardas andò in India insieme ai Beatles durante il loro soggiorno presso l'ashram del Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, e fu allora che gli venne assegnato il compito di ridisegnare il nuovo a Savile Row. I suoi sforzi fallimentari, costarono alla Apple perdite di circa 300,000 sterline dell'epoca. Negli anni settanta, Mardas si riciclò come consulente per la sicurezza dei VIP. Re Hussein di Giordania gli commissionò una flotta di auto blindate, ma le modifiche apportate da Mardas ai veicoli dovettero essere annullate quando i test dimostrarono che erano inutilizzabili. Nel 1987, Mardas divenne il direttore della Alcom Ltd, società specializzata in sicurezza e comunicazione elettronica. Successivamente tornò in Grecia.
