Paul A. Lelekis - I've been performing this effect for over 25 years after learning it from my late friend, Jerry Mentzer at his home in Greenville, S.C. Jerry said that John Murray created this effect. I wouldn't doubt that Frank Garcia did though...he has been one of my greatest influences for many years. This is in one of my e-books.
Painful to read. I feel sad for the "magicians" (?) like you who grew-up to be become such disrespectful ignoramuses; hacks dismissing those before you who skillfully entertained audiences like your parents... before they accidentally had you.
