Re: Message from David Oliver on "Captured" vs. "Polageist"

I confirm the history of this trick involving Giampaolo and Tony. If the recent apparent rip-off did not come from this then it was possibly from an excellent Milbourne Christopher routine, developed independently from the Roman one, in Hugard's MM.
