Thanks David. Does seem like there is an endless reservoir of overlooked material to dive into. Every time you read a book or magazine, no matter how many times you've read it before, you discover something new to you.

I enjoyed his TV shows. You might recall that Romark once did a blindfold drive stunt that went wrong. He crashed into a police van! He was taken to court for reckless driving. David Berglas told me that Romark called him asking him to testify in the case that the stunt was safe. Berglas didn't take up the invitation. During the court case, Romark explained how the blindfold stunt worked but the jury found him guilty and he was fined and paid costs to the tune of several hundred pounds. The newspapers delighted in explaining the trick to their reader. And Romark said that now the secret was out he wouldn't be doing it again.
