"A must have for any cardman."
- Harrison Carroll
"I fully realize that most cardicians don't have a complete collection of Marlo's creations (I don't). That said, Ed Marlo Forty Years Later offers those interested in pursing the fine art of card magic the opportunity to take a deep dive into Marlo's world. I've been a huge fan of Ed Marlo's card magic for most of my adult life (still am), and he was the most prolific cardician to ever pick up a deck of cards. I highly recommend this wonderful publication."
- Tom Gagnon
"Ed Marlo Forty Years Later... is a brilliant collection of genius card sleights, subtle powerful methods and cut to the chase... knock 'em dead routines. Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelly have created the must have book of the year!"
PS: The last routine in the book is worth its weight in magic gold.
- Joe Monti
"I just fooled myself with the switch explained in the "Marlovian Mystery Card." Pardon me while I pause and dwell on this."
- David Regal
"After reading JUST the first chapter of ED MARLO FORTY YEARS LATER, I've already come away with four routines I'm definitely adding to my repertoire! Can't wait to get through the rest of the material...Thanks Randy and Kevin!"
- Jack Carpenter
"This book is the authors' homage to Ed Marlo. In my opinion, if someone offers a tribute, I think it should convey your best effort. In that regard, the authors have given us a beautiful book that perfectly captures their respect for Ed Marlo. I think this book is excellent in every way, from the way the content is presented to the content itself. Given that magic is an art form in and of itself, this book is an artistic creation, honoring the magic of Ed Marlo. I must say to Kevin Kelly and Randy Wakeman, "Well done, guys, well done."
- Gary McCoy
"It isn't often these days that you meet people who truly knew Marlo and stood by him as loyal confidants. Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelly are two of those rare people. Their bond with Ed was real, lasting, and filled with respect. This tribute to Marlo has been long overdue and I can't think of two better people to bring it to life than Randy and Kevin. Inside these pages, you will find more than magic. Yes, you'll discover wonderful routines and carefully chosen Marlo miracles. Yes, you'll pick up many sleights and ideas. But more importantly, you'll be welcomed into the atmosphere of Ed's world. 40 Years Later is a long time to wait, however, it's worth it!"
