My understanding is it was those practices of thievery which lead to the magic communities loss. Steve was a brilliant creator, yet the disrespect of him and stealing his works by other companies lead him no longer offering to the community.

According to Steve's daughter, there are hundreds of effects that never saw the light of day or offered. It's a shame, Steve was brilliant.
The magic community always states how important it is to credit the creator, no matter the age of the effect. Yet, with the Slippery Sam gimmick no one ever credits Steve for this major creation.

In the Ultimate 3 Fly tutorial video, Bob Kohler credits Presley Guitar and Steve Dusheck for the Slippery Sam right at the beginning of the explanation. From vanishingmagic.com's Coin S***l page: Quote:
A Slippery Sam S***l is often used for routines such as Three-Fly. In this gimmick only ***** is remaining, allowing you to slide the coin *****. This type of gimmick was popularized by Steve Dusheck and invented by Edward Bagshawe in the late 1920s. |

Thank you GJO, I'm glad to see that. I don't have any of those effects, but I'm glad they gave Steve the credit.

Someone interested in documenting Steve Dusheck's contributions to magic might start by updating his Genii Magicpedia web page, which is relatively light on content. The submission will be vetted then updated.

Great to know. I'm going to pass this info on to my brother so he can update it. Thanks for taking the time to let me know about this GJO.

Some may find this topic interesting.
Steve Dusheck joins starting on page 6. It centers around his trick Copper Silver Transpo and routine, how it (and his other work) has been ripped off, and discusses how he (Steve) has been terribly affected by it - financially, and how it feels to watch your creations get ripped off. Link brings you to page 6, but those unfamiliar w the Digital Dissolve brouhaha may want to start at the beginning. https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view......tart=100
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

He reversed the gimmick and changed the card to a coin purse. Steve's posts confirms my opinion of what Craig and Alakanzam did. To add insult to injury, Craig used Steve's orignal LT as a selling point of his version and said it was Out dated. That's pretty low. And Alakazem continues to carry rip off versons of LT. Craig claims Appirition is an improvement of LT. It's not his place to improve Steve's effects. That piece of work Justin MIller did the same thing. Both claim they credited Steve, when the estate read that, they said they don't want them crediting Steve, they want the ripoffs to stop. Steve Dusheck Line of Magic is an international registered trademark and no part or in whole can be used without expressed written permission by the estate and or AirShip Magic Mfg. that my brother owns. It appears to be a sickening situation of if a dealer has something magicians want, they're willing to overlook their rip off effects.

Marsha Dusheck's trademark is for "Steve Dusheck's".
Therefore, any "Lethal Tender" trick (or any other Dusheck trick), not marketed as "Steve Dusheck's Lethal Tender", would not appear to violate the trademark, which helps explain why Lethal Tender effects from at least nine entities are currently being sold, and retailers like penguinmagic.com offer the trick from a couple of manufacturers. It's unlikely that penguinmagic.com would put its business at risk by marketing any product that exposes the retailer to a lawsuit. As you have said, if folks want Steve Dusheck's original routines then Airship Magic is the source. |

The trademark covers Steve Dusheck's and any use of the trademark whole or in part. Meaning they can't use Steve Dusheck. I've reported 2 people so far to the tradmark association and they quickly removed any mention. In the small community we are, it's a shame you have to resort to it at all. I personally own 9 trademarks and in all the years have never had to enforce it.

Slippery Sam (combination coin set) is a two coin set, one silver and one copper, which uses both the sliding feature and magnetism - both "coins". @Jake - any chance you guys will offer the combination coin set?

@Jonathan
Probably in the future. Right now my lil' brother is sawing his fanny off making "Head Outs" But I'll mention it to him to request it be added to the long list by the Dusheck Estate. On another note, my lord Jonathan, you almost have the same amount of postings as my accountant LOL.

Gibson copied a lot of Dusheck's and other folks'stuff.
The Slippery Sam Combination Coins set is all Dusheck. I'd love to get an original set. Quote:

In the U.S., Steve Dusheck reinvented this form of shell and, in 1974, Eddie Gibson of the U.K. marketed it under Dusheck's name, as “Slippery Sam”, a copper-silver transposition that echos Zmeck's “Gold und Silber”; see Genii, Vol. 38 No. 11, Nov. 1974, p. 492. |
