there is a minor problem with one of the pages in my book. On page 48 there is a piece of text missing... I can only read half of the top five lines.

If anyone could please post (or pm me) what it says I would be much obliged (hmm I probably spelled that one wrong...).

Yes I have the same 3rd edition..I am awaiting delivery of a different edition and Le Pauls other book and will inform you of the result...Its probaly not important ..but its nice to have the complete text..Tom

"This series of moves should be carefully studied and routined so that the entire uperation is automatic. When properly executed it gived the appearance of neatly squaring up the deck in such a way as to remove any doubt that it might be possible to locate the card."

that would be great. thx a lot.

by the way... what other book is it you're getting? I only ever managed to find one book by Paul LePaul.

ohh didn't even see you reply there Randy... thx a lot... now I can get on with my studies

Yes.Thank you Randy, I will print your post out and add it to my copy.
Have you seen the 1939 movie "Eternally Yours"?..Le Paul was tech advisor, and I believe had a "bit" part..My local Video store has lost their copy,is it worth viewing?..Tom

Sure, if you like David Niven and old movies. LePaul does a few quick bits "in the kitchen" if memory serves.

Yes, Paul LePaul was the Butler.

Also, his book is great. One of my favorite magic books.

It really is a great book - - - I think that Jim Ryan performed most every routine in it!
