Marlo, Ed (Ed Malkowski). Archive of Marlo Letters and Manuscripts. Spanning 1973 - 1978. Addressed to Jeff Busby and others, Marlo writes in great detail, often accompanying his text with crude diagrams, regarding the many card tricks and routines he has devised, among them the Red-Blue Warp, Poor Man's Prediction, and the Bill-Egg-Glass routine. Other letters cover business matters and gossip. Hand-corrected typed MS for one Marlo routine included, along with notes from various Marlo letters dating to 1954 by an unknown typist. In one missive, Marlo writes about a Busby publication sent to him for review, stating he would "Énot want to peruse the contents of an unpublished book and then later perhaps be accused of borrowing some part of it." Accompanied by several Christmas sentiments, copies of Marlo letters, and carbons of Busby's responses. Over 150 pages.
