It may make sense to contact for consultation with Simon Lovell. But my bad English will not allow him to explain all the subtleties of the effect.
I love the magic & history of magic! My favorites magicians - Dai Vernon, Max Malini, Fielding West, Michael Finney, Jeff Hobson, Bob Sheets, Nick Lewin, Harry Murphy, Dick Oslund- great showmen of magic!

I really loved the classic performance. Thanx much. Looks like it borrows a bit from Al Baker's 'poker face'; but the idea of a magician (Dai Vernon no less) not being able to control things really knocked me out. It also reminded me a bit of Cardini!! Lynn

It's amazing but I found the method at Johnny Thompson Commercial Classics of Magic - Volume 3

THE BIDDLE TRICK
Johnny talks about this - but I can not understand which of the magicians he refers to because of my poor spoken English.

I'm sure the trick will go into your repertoire! Give him a new life, perhaps by modifying some of the nuances of the demonstration. SmileMagical mood to all the guys!

I contacted Jamy Ian Swiss, he confirmed that the professor never published it. I thought it was in volume 3 - his commercial magic, but I was wrong. Where can we read about a similar technique? Please help find links to books.
On the eve of the release of the book.

If someone knows where I can get to know the method - please let me know. It is possible in PM)


At 0:59 he mentions "Fingertip Control," and to me it sure looks like he's using "Sixth Method" from page 16 of Fingertip Control (1956) by Ed Marlo.

He mentioned Tamariz fingertip control? And then Scarne.

Tamariz was born in 1942, so he was about 14 when the Marlo book came out.
