Miller, Charlie. Important eight-page ALS from Charlie Miller to Cardini. Postmarked St. Joseph Missouri, June 28, 1962. Miller writes at length on a host of interesting topics, including a shift discovered by a friend of Artanis (Joe Sinatra), procedure for the Egg Bag trick (“In all bag turning I do it very ladylike and effortless”), Dai Vernon (“…from Dai’s description this boy splits one packet and shift is unseen…”), and asks if Cardini will manufacture several items for him that Miller needs “badly.” With original mailing cover, but one page apparently lacking. On 8vo sheets. Signed “Charles.” Very good. Although the letter is postmarked from St. Joseph Missouri – Faucett Ross’s hometown – the return address for Miller is a PO Box in Houston, Texas.
