Magic Quiz

[DL360]

Lets do a magic quiz game with the community! There will be no prizes, but I hope everyone participates
The rules are simple. I will start this with one question and the first person to correctly answer will make the next question, and so on. If no one guesses in 24 hours I will give an hint, and at the 48 hour mark I will give the correct answer.

My question is:

In Guy Hollingworth's book, "Drawing Room Deceptions", Guy dedicated the book to Cholmondeley. Who was Cholmondeley?

 

[Josh Burch]

I'm going to give a guess and say that it has something to do with Lewis Carol

 

[lawrencew]

Given that Guy Hollingworth was English, Cholmondeley may refer to the English aristocratic family or even the location within England.

No

P.S: You had me go for a search trying to find a link between Lewis Carol/Cholmondeley eheh. Was he one of the illustrators for the book Alice in Wonderland?

Given that Guy Hollingworth was English, Cholmondeley may refer to the English aristocratic family or even the location within England.

Small hint: It as nothing to do with locations

Joshua Jay has an awesome routine called "Hitchcock", which he performs in his one man show. However, the premise of the trick isn't based on any Hitchcock movie.

What movie did he base his trick on?

 

[Maverick85]

Ocean's Eleven is my wild guess. Wrong, but that happens a lot.

Awesome effect, I know he loves The Usual Suspects. He also calls the moment when it turns around the Mcguffin.
