Somewhere Vernon tells the story of Daley performing at a magic convention. One of the magicians is unconvinced saying, 'All he's got is a peek and a pass.' This became an in joke for a while.
Can anyone remind me where Vernon told this story?

Thanks

If you "ask Alexander", he gives you the reply.

Until then, you can use it to search your own library and those of local clubs.
Warning though - frequent use will cause you to find the money for a subscription!

Thank you everyone! Joe, I hadn't realised that was a possibility. That's wonderful.
