I talked to Richard Hatch, a magician and a magic historian who shared his story of finding the author of “The Expert at the Card Table”. He talked about arguments against various theories, walked me through his process of searching for Erdnase and shared his thoughts on why the question of the author’s identity is important and why history of magic matters.
