Further Than That

For a precursor, see William Larsen and T. Page Wright's “A Novelty Spelling Mystery”, published as a two-page manuscript, noted as “A Larsen and Wright Gold Seal Trick, Genii Bonus Number One.” This was inserted loose into the April 1940 issue of Genii, Vol. 4, No. 8. It was later reprinted in the May 1962 issue of Genii, Vol. 26, No. 9, p. 353; also in Page Wright's Manuscript, p. 223, written in the 1920s. Stewart James acknowledged this trick as the inspiration for his “Further Than That”, which appeared in the April 1941 issue of The Jinx, No. 134, p. 765 (see page 275 of Stewart James In Print).
