He was great but he gets a lot of credit for things he did not invent. He had a habit of finding things before they were lost. He and Frank Garcia both.
I fell in love with magic when I was a kid I used to go to the treasure chest all the time He wasnt a very pleasant person to deal with I don't think he didnt like kids
Thank you so much for uploading this series of videos and for commenting on them! Do you happen to know the name and changes of all the Changes and Color Changes he used? Perhaps provide some direct sources? :)
Is it fair to say that his center deal was superior to the Kennedy center deal? Obviously his execution is perfect, but it seems like the move is better.
@@Lightman0169 You may not be familiar with Vernon - while Marlo is highly regarded (to say the least), the majority of card handlers regard The Professor as the pound for pound greatest
Chris Holden I think Marlo had much more output than Vernon- over 5000 entries on Denis Behr archive. I just wish I could have seen Vernon in his prime. He (Vernon) remarked that he had never seen anything like the D’amico second deal and then Marlo has D’amico do it over and over again in front of him so he could work out the mechanics himself.
Marlo was flashy. Like a theater actor. Vernon was natural. Like a movie actor. Both were masters with slightly different approaches (no pun intended). I would also add Martin Nash to the podium, his gambling routines seem unreal.
Someone please tell me the name of that change at 1:42 or the source material I can purchase to learn it. I see guys in the comments saying it's simple and obvious... maybe I'm just an idiot, but I have no idea what's going on there. Yes, I see the finger discrepancy, but I still have no clue how that works.
@@MR_MAG1C This is just great. I'm getting something that looks similar with my thumb ending up on the other side of the card, but I still can't fathom how to do this ending on edge. Anyways, I should've purchased EATCT years ago. Sort of my own dumb fault for waiting this long, lol. Ordering it now. I'll try to get it in with my forces unseen purchase from penguin before they ship
@@MR_MAG1C It’s in Modern Magic by Professor Hoffman (1876). Otherwise known as the Hellis change where it’s attributed to Robert Hellis. Marlo also performed it in front of a crowd to a stunning applause if you can get ahold of his infamous “Secret Lecture”. He doesn’t explain it. It’s on page 31 “to change a card-fourth method”.
@@Frank-un5gn seconds, centers, and bottoms. You can buy it on its own, or buy his Revolutionary Card Technique. It's in there too along with so much more. It's quite pricey, but it's worth every penny.
@@Frank-un5gn Marlo published three extensive manuscripts. They are entitled Seconds, Centers, and Bottoms Parts 1-3 individually. They form part of the Revolutionary Card Technique series which is available for $70 from select magic retailers, the entire bound collection!
Ah! The legendary Hellis change! Edit: 2:57… the obscure Eidetic Slide from the forgotten but wonderful tome, the Card Magic of Edward Marlo. Brilliant. Edit 4:29… the legendary Triple Buckle from The Cardician (1953). If you can’t tell, I’m a Marlophile!
