Harry himself just stated..."What I've written about a few times is - that many years (read "decades") ago, I'd excuse myself - had to go to the bathroom to wash my hands - and I'd take the borrowed, shuffled, deck with me." I know that I would be a tad more than curious as to why someone would disappear with a "borrowed, shuffled deck". Kind of makes the shuffling moot, does it not? So how would one know after that if the deck was actually memorized?

Hey, lcwright1964 - one of your wonderful remarks pertaining to me is: "...it is more impressive to hear of someone's excellent reputation from admirer's other than the person involved..." Another is: "...the main sources of information about their competencies are from others, not they themselves."
Now, are you talking about posts/"admirers"(most from here at the Café)like I'll list below? Let me know. Because if that's what you mean - I have hundreds more for you! They do help to make it all worthwhile for me, and I thank you so much for giving me the opportunity/the rationale for posting them here. I'm quite sure that you'll say that I'm boasting. If you do, and I'm pretty sure you will - I have two 2-word phrases for you - one is "That's right!" (I sure am!) The other is...oh, well, you know. And I'd think of you as lcwrong! Here are just a few: "Harry Lorayne IS the man. Nobody else even comes close. Any magic book ever written after his owes a humble nod to his countless and priceless contributions. Harry is called a "master" by many of the greats and well-knowns in magic. He is a genius in his own right and brought the genius of many others to us through his many selfless works and the art of magic would not be the same without him. He is a scholar, historian, collector, writer, mentor and a gifted performer. "There is a piece of Harry Lorayne in every magician who is worth his weight in salt. Harry, you ARE the man!" (Fingerjack - The Magic Café: 5-31-13) "Probably the greatest teacher magic has ever seen! I earn my living performing many of the routines I first learned from your books. You have been a constant source of inspiration." (Michael Vincent) Also from Michael: "Harry, you set the bar for me in terms of what was possible and the standard to reach as far as excellence is concerned." "Lorayne is the greatest magic writer I've ever come across - don't think I'll ever find a better one." (Evan Bishop) "Harry Lorayne's influence on how effects are written is equivalent to Shakespeare's influence on the theatre." (Gary Kosnitzky) "No writer of magic more gifted than Harry Lorayne. There are too many card gods to count but Mr. Lorayne is 'Zeus atop Mount Olympus.'" (Panlives) "Harry Lorayne's writings consistently enrich us. He has advanced magic, close-up magic particularly. His contributions to the art are monumental/staggering. Quite possibly the very best of all the marvelous writers in the annals of the art." (Tom Daugherty) "Harry's style is like no-one else's. The nights I spent with his books are among my fondest magic memories. He has given me, and so many others, the encouragement to learn and progress. His knowledge and talent amaze." (David Regal) "Harry Lorayne IS card magic!" (Chris Kavanagh)
