Thank you. That is quite a labor of love.
Effect and method are inextricably linked.

Already read! :-}
I've read it in my smart-phone inside the Metro as going to work every day... It was so interesring that one day I missed my station and had to go back.

Great Work, Maigret! Thank you so much for offering for free this golden piece of cultural information about the history of (card) magic.

I am curious why there is no mention of Malini in the first chapter on the Card Stab. But in any case, it is an interesting read, thank you.
