I've always been interested in the story of S.W. Erdnase. No one knows who he really was even after immense research into the subject. There's an element of theatre invovled in Erdnase's story. It reminds me of the old saying: Satan's greatest trick was convincing the world that God didn't exist. I believe that the greatest trick ever conceived was hiding the identity of one of the greatest minds in the history of card magic. Here are a couple of really interesting articles I found.
