[edit] NPOV tag: why?
A tag questioning NPOV was inserted by a user whose personal page says "gone", and no explanation nor anything else appears on the talk page.
If anything, the article could be expanded. I've seen video of Cardini performing, and read about him in histories of magic. Based on both, he was an excellent magician, entertainer, and exponent of sleight-of-hand. To the best of my knowledge, among serious magicians there is no controversy about Cardini's credentials.
I'm removing the tag, for lack of an explanation. KSmrq 2005 July 9 07:08 (UTC)
[edit] gloves
i remember reading a long time ago that he started wearing gloves while practicing sleight of hand because it was so cold in the trenches. If this can be corroborated, this should be included, since it is an interesting nugget explaining partly his unique style. --C S (Talk) 05:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
