Ed Marlo Card Magic Books: Early Ed Marlo Card Effects - 1
Few names loom larger in the world of advanced card magic than Edward "Ed" Marlo. Born Edward F. Malkowski in Chicago, Marlo was a trailblazing innovator, technician, and teacher whose prolific contributions helped shape modern card sleight-of-hand. Widely respected by card magic legends, like Dai Vernon, Charlie Miller, Arthur Buckley, and Dr. Jacob Daley, Marlo was a relentless explorer of card technique, known for pushing boundaries and documenting his discoveries in an incredibly methodical and detailed fashion. During his lifetime, he developed and refined countless sleights, controls, palms, switches, and routines—many of which continue to challenge and inspire serious students of card magic today.
