Here are my attempts at creating a list of cross-references for Gambling
Sleight of Hand, chapter 1. Steve Forte has very kindly given me
permission to share this online. I am sure it is far from complete, but I
hope some other students and historians may find it useful.
In my own studies, I have found the following resources particularly useful, and I recommend them highly:
- The Annotated Erdnase (1991) by Darwin Ortiz
- The Man Who Was Erdnase (1991) by Bart Whaley with Martin Gardner and Jeff Busby
- Denis Behr's Conjuring Archive https://www.conjuringarchive.com/
- The Magic Reference Pages https://magicref.net/magref/index.htm
Enjoy,
