and if anyone would like to share another candidate for who S.W Erdnase
Iv seen your video its great. My favorite moves are his top stock shuffle and the top stock running cut.Love Erdnase. Even made a tribute video back when I was 14. A good friend and magician Spencer Peterson has a tattoo of the second deal illustration that accompanies the move in the book - 'fig. 2'.
What are your favorite moves from the book?
i just want to know why erdnase put a question mark in the phrase "reformed (?) gamblers" in the preface
remind me who he is
i am going to be erdnase for halloween any ideas
1902!!!!!!!!!!Suit from the 1920'a and a willingness to explain who you are to everyone.
1902!!!!!!!!!!
WRONG!!!!!.Yes yes. It was a typo. Also, the styles aren't that much different. Only someone very familiar with turn of the century fashion would know.
It would serve just as well to say "Old style suit"
Just a comment -
While Quinn certainly fits the bill of the type of person Erdnase was writing about, a better example is probably J. H. Green. He did the same thing as Quinn but a half-century earlier and actually billed himself as THE "Reformed Gambler." He also wrote several books decrying the evils of gambling whereas Quinn had only written one (at least by 1902). Gambling and Gambling Devices by Quinn didn't come along until 1911 or so.
