Ross, Faucett. Large Archive of Faucett Ross-Frank Csuri Correspondence. Spanning 1961-75, Ross's letters cover wide-ranging topics, from his opinions and routines/handlings for various magic tricks ("The [Paul Fox] Candy Bowl to me is one of the most valuable props extant"), to Csuri's famous underground notebooks, to their mutual acquaintances, namely Charlie Miler, Dai Vernon, John Braun, T. Nelson Downs (Ross describes receiving Downs' "suitcase show," coin wand, and top hat as a gift), and other well-known magicians. Also included is a handwritten 13-page prospectus for an unrealized Vernon/Ross collaboration, a book on gambling artifice broken into five programs ("It should be made clear that Mr. Vernon's purpose is not to teach one to become a cheater, but rather to educate [the] public so that it may be protectedÉ"). Other tantalizing passages include lines such as "Finally got the low down on "Revelations": apparently Jay Marshall is going to publishÉ" "Éhere is an item to add to your Vernon bibliographyÉ" and "Charlie [Miller] doesn't appear concerned about his forthcoming trialÉadmits he's probably guilty." Many of the letters deal with Vernon, his magic, and his doings, as Ross was instrumental in Csuri's recording of Vernon secrets and routines from correspondence. Many original mailing covers and one photograph of Vernon included. Approximately 100 letters spanning some 200 pages, most filled front-and-back, neatly organized.
