...hardly a case of plagiarism. Adams liberally sprinkles references to Lockley's book in his bestseller, and his introduction to Private Life's first American edition is pure hero worship.

They spoke in the jargon of the trade: there were no tricks, only "effects"; a disappearing object was a "vanish"; a suddenly appearing object was a "production"; a nimble-handed move...
