Request reason:

The methods for magic tricks, and certainly the method for what is perhaps the most famous card routine of the twentieth century, are not to be divulged to laymen frivolously on public web pages despite the extensive discussion of this matter in the Talk section. Removing the description from this page is not "vandalism," but a form of valiant protest against the original author's high-falutin view of themselves as the arbiter of whether or not the method should be exposed. Since the methods for magic tricks are collectively "owned" by the magic world and its members, it has always been standard operating procedure that the methods may be explained to the public in a situation in which they have to pay for them, such as in a book. Whether the book is purchased or consulted at a library, the curious party has to invest money, time, or both in pursuit of the method. The original author of this entry does not have the RIGHT to explain the method here. Discospinster states that I have no interest in building an encyclopedia. The truth is that I do not have an interested in building an encyclopedia of methods for magic tricks, the posters of which do not own the material they are explaining to the public.
