Ed Marlo Footage

decova,

Some­times Youtube is good for research­ing and stor­ing his­to­ry. This clip is a very nice com­pi­la­tion of rare footage of Ed Mar­lo. See­ing it reminds me how good they were back then, espe­cial­ly Mar­lo him­self. Impres­sive.

I have no idea who put that out­stand­ing col­lec­tion togeth­er and uploaded it, but then I would like to thank this unknown per­son for doing it. This should also stop those magi­cians claim­ing Mar­lo was only the­o­ret­i­cal and could­n’t do his stuff.
