Re: Should you still use material that you've sold?
Just curious? Are you referring to the spectator saying "How about letting me shuffle the deck?",etc., etc. If so, that is in the original manuscript of Stars of Magic copyrighted in 1946. If not, then I am lost as to the reference. Thanks, Ken B. Thanks Ken, I had forgotten it was there....

Re: Should you still use material that you've sold?
IMHO Triumph is not the best example as Vernon's script was not in the original publication, nor was the false shuffle process he used - which was published later on and not in the Stars of Magic book. John, Just curious? Are you referring to the spectator saying "How about letting me shuffle ...

Re: Magic As a Hobby
A book just of Elliot's "Back Room" would be great. The Phoenix,
without Elliot, was just not the same, and his Back Room was as
special and entertaining as the material contributions in the
main.

Erdnasephile, you seemed to have misinterpreted my posting. My comment was 'tongue in cheek' and perhaps I should have put a Smiley Icon on it. And I'll overlook your insinuation that the "Beckers of the world are dragging it down" I have no support for the kind of book published by Stone.

Re: The quality of the bicycle standard deck.
Interesting. I had a deck with off-center backs. Returned the
Joker and Ace of Spades, and received two decks in return.
No hassle. Both new decks are fine; also great for faro shuffles.
