Thanks, Bob. I was working on So Sato's book, but based on your suggestion I'm going to take a nap instead! Your post prompted me to reread the So Sato entries in Tenyoism and then I started looking at his card magic online. Very elegant, and very different, in a great way. Will The Secrets of So S...

Thanks, Tom!

Thanks for the post, Brad - fascinating.
Looking forward to seeing both Part One and Part Two.

..... I also hope that one day, Mr. Weber publishes his commentary on the book because I'd sure hate to see that valuable material lost forever. Thanks, Richard. I should just add my name to erdnasefile's post - I feel similarly. I'm excited to finally receive the book after preordering many years ...

Jim Martin
