For those trying to skim, give it up. This is a terribly amusing article, and it's part 1 of a series (presumably there will be 6 more [maybe 7?].) It read much like a DamnInteresting.com article, which is a compliment.

I immediately began trying to get more information on the magician who didn't lie, Jerry Andrus, but Wikipedia doesn't list anything about that whatsoever. Does anybody have more information regarding his routine?
