S.W. Erdnase : ウィキペディア英語版 | S. W. Erdnase S. W. Erdnase is a pseudonym used by the author of ''The Expert at the Card Table'', a book detailing sleight of hand, cheating and legerdemain using playing cards. Still considered essential reading for any card magician, the book, known also as either ''the Bible'' or, commonly, just ''Erdnase'', has been in continual publication since 1902. Erdnase's true identity is one of the enduring mysteries of the magic community. == Identity == S. W. Erdnase was most likely a way for the author to conceal his real identity so he wouldn't be arrested, since Federal laws at the time prohibited the publication and distribution of "obscene" material. In the late 19th and early 20th century, many judges considered books on gambling methods obscene (see Comstock laws). S. W. Erdnase spelled backwards is "E. S. Andrews" leading many investigators to search for people named Andrews as possible candidates.
