Edward Marlo (Chicago, Illinois, October 10, 1913 - November 7, 1991) Born Edward Malkowski. He was one of the most notable names in card magic with groundbreaking publications and a staggering amount of new moves and innovations.

To underscore his prolific output and creativity another legend of card magic, the Spaniard Arthuro Ascanio coined the phrase: 'When in doubt then for Marlo' - meaning if you don't know who invented a certain concept or move the creator was most likely Marlo. Marlo himself coined the term cardician, a term which has since been used for magicians who only perform card magic. His first publication in 1938, Pasteboard Presto, was an unheralded thunderbolt which merely hinted at the bulk of work which was to follow. The many sleights he created have changed the face of card magic.

One notable example is his Snap change, used in David Blaine's Street Magic special. Marlo essentially created his own school of magic with many now famous disciples who learned under Marlo:, Jimmy Nuzzo, Steve Draun, Dave Solomon, Simon Aronson,,, Amando Gutierrez, Don May, Randy Wakeman Marlo wrote over sixty books and manuscripts, and contributed over 2000 tricks in the field of card magic many contributed to various magazines. He did not limit himself to cards as he also authored works on coin magic and dice magic. His most famous works are and Revolutionary Card Technique. He also wrote a series of private manuscripts that were circulated only among the top card magicians of the era. Titles included Riffle Shuffle Systems, Patented False Shuffle, Faro Controlled Miracles and others. They are extremely rare and highly sought after.

Chapter One • Sense Of. This manuscript explores in detail the possibilities of the 'Double Count'. As the title implies, the possibilities seem unlimited. After reading this PDF you will surely come up with your own variations and takes on the effects presented. The Double Count in its basic form is to show five cards absolutely cleanly as six. One of the five cards is a double facer.

A gimmicked version of the amazing 'hallucination' plot along with 5 further non-gimmicked handlings. Ed was always thorough, and here it shows in style. In effect, three spectators each look at the top card of the deck, one at a time. The performer comments about how people often have problems recalling details, and how various descriptions of the same event can vary dramatically. He offers to prove his point. • Climax 1: The spectators each name their cards and they are ALL DIFFERENT!

You can find good stuff all over the place. One of my favorite books is The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings. If you want a video, there is one of Jennings by that same title but doesnt hold (obviously) as much info as the book. Check out any of James Swain's books (Dont Blink, Miracles with Cards, and 21st Century Card Magic). Again if you want videos, he has a 3 set also called Miracles with Cards.

As far as Marlo, yes his other videos are all good. Some teach stuff while others are just performances. Out of any magician around, he probably has the most stuff in print. I would recommend learning from his texts, not from the vid.

Marlo is a good teacher on the videos. His writing style is a bit hard to understand. F you are interested in Marlo's material, I would suggest the book Marlo Without Tears, written by Jon Racherbaumer. Jon writes it with the intent to simplify the style of writing. Although he does this, he is able to keep Marlo's style present.

Its a good book to introduce anyone to Marlo's style of writing to make it easier to understand. As far as books VS videos, I prefer books over videos anyday. Just keep in mind that Marlo is not easy to read. Marlo's videos are good to watch and learn from, but you get so much more from his books.

There are gems in his books that are not on any of the vids, including the Wakeman vids and Prime Time Marlo which was a video of performance only that Racherbaumer put out. Both volumes of M.I.N.T., The Cardician, Advanced Fingertip Control, the RCT series, The Unexpected Card Book (One of my favs.) Marlo's Magazines (all 6 vol.) Marlo In Spades, Marlo Without Tears, The Card Magic of Edward Marlo are all good books that contain Gems that are no where else. If you can find any of these books, which most can be found, I recommend you get them.
