Author of Expert at the Card Table.
S. W. Erdnase is not the author's real name.
Erdnase's true identity is one of the enduring mysteries of the magic community.
Research into the identity of Erdnase
Martin Gardner's research proposes that the real Erdnase was Milton Franklin Andrews, and that the book was ghost-written by William John Hilliar. (S. W. Erdnase spelled backwards is E. S. Andrews, lending support to the theory that Andrews was the author's last name)
Todd Karr has identified a Midwestern-based con artist named E. S. Andrews who was active around the turn of the century and whose biography seems to fit Erdnase's.
Erdnase, The Musical
Peregrine Arts is in the process of developing, for Spring 2008, "Who Killed Erdnase?", a new music-theater work by the Ridge Theater and Gavin Bryars team in conjunction with author Glen David Gold. [1] [2]
