Re: Astonishing ACAAN on Fool Us
This reminds me of a video of a ventriloquist posing as a mentalist. His helper had a bucket over his head, yet appeared to name items held up by audience members. It may have been at a magic convention, as they tipped the method at the end. Ring any bells? Mike Caveney and Jay Johnson at the Magic...

Mine arrived Thursday. Every book published by CARC surpasses the last.

He didn't specify where in Tarbell.

Bill Malone does something similar in his ambitious card routine "I don't even have a pocket," and attributes the move to Tarbell.

Re: Bob Read Book?
It's a good guess. From Lybrary.com: "His most outstanding achievement is his series of articles about the history of magic (Geschichte der Zauberkunst). 104 articles appeared in the journal. There are another 100 unpublished articles which will be published in the near future in book form."
