Edward Marlo was the greatest card magic creator of all time. In fact, he was probably the greatest card magic technician of all time too.
The bad news is that he's been getting a pretty bad rap lately. Here's some stuff that I've heard people say about Marlo over the past few years:
- His stuff isn't commercial
- His moves are great, but his tricks are boring
- He didn't care about the effect; just about getting as many tricks in print as possible
