Re: Interesting Marketed Tricks From The Past
I bought the trick from Davenports in London around 1987. It was called "Coin through glass". I have three catalogues from Davenports from that time. The trick is only in one of them from ~86, not in the later ones. It has catalogue number CN-010 (price £ 8.00). In the later catalogues &qu...

Pressly Guitar holds the patent on "Copper Silver Brass" as issued in 1972. I think he only allowed Johnson Products to manufacture it. The Pressly Guitar patent expired in 1991 (17 years after it was issued). So at least after patent law the "Copper Silver Brass" could be freel...

I can't lay my hands on it, but Derek never used a LePaul wallet when I spent time with him, so the card never came out of an envelope.
