Bush, Connie. Archive of Connie Bush Manuscripts, Notes, and Correspondence. Primarily 1960s (but some letters dating as late as 1992), and including TLSs from Bush to Frank Csuri, nearly all content regarding the methods for various magic tricks, most of them for use at the close-up table. Effects include the String Thru Fingers (with prepared string included), Herb Zarrow’s Oil & Water, Del Ray’s Four Ace Location, Francis Carlyle’s False Cut, the Leipzig Cigar Routine, and effects by Cliff Green, Ross Bertram, Tenkai, Harry Lorayne, and dozens more. Letters include tantalizing lines: “Are there any developments on the Malini auto[biography] Ozzie has?” Many carbons; many manuscripts illustrated by hand. Over 150 pages, neatly organized. Bush, an accountant from New Jersey, was an amateur magician and one of the original recipients of Csuri’s notes. He was also a close friend of other sleight-of-hand aficionados and a capable magician in his own right.
