Erdnase's true identity is one of the enduring mysteries of the magic
community. Martin Gardner has proposed that a small-time con man named
Milton Franklin Andrews was the author (S. W. Erdnase spelled backwards
is E. S. Andrews, lending support to the theory that Andrews was the
author's last name). Others argue against Andrews being Erdnase because
the known examples of his writing are very much inferior to the
polished writing of The Expert at the Card Table.
