=== Senator's Pink Sheet ===
Crandall put out his '''''Senator's Pink Sheet''''', he decided to have a little fun with the magic collectors of the world. The story is recounted in [[Magic, Inc.]]'s ''[[Ireland's Yearbook|Yearbook 1969-70]]'', a ''Salute to Collectors'':
<blockquote>Senator Crandall is one of those who enjoys baiting the collectors. Some years ago he issued a small paper called ''The Pink Sheet''. He began it with Volume I, No. 2. When it ended, after not too many issues, [[Bob Lund]] waited as long as he thought fit to locate No. 1, and finally despaired, and had the group bound. No sooner did this news reach the Senator's ears than he wrote Bob and said he was sorry he had gone ahead with the binding, because he had just found a "No. 1." What he had done was to type out a single copy of "No. 1" which he then sent Bob. [[Paul Koch]] heard about this. and promptly wrote Crandall for a "No. 1" for his file. Crandall wrote back that he had sent the only copy he had to Bob Lund, and that Paul should write to Bob and tell him to send it to him.<ref>[[Magic, Inc.]], ''[[Ireland's Yearbook|Yearbook 1969-70]]'', 1970, p. 7</ref></blockquote>
According to [[Bibliography of Conjuring Periodicals in English 1791-1983|Alfredson and Daily]], Lund's copy of Volume I, No. 1, was reprinted as a supplement to ''[[Periodical for Collecting Conjurers]]''.<ref>[[James B. Alfredson]] and [[George Daily|George L. Daily, Jr.]], [[Bibliography of Conjuring Periodicals in English 1791-1983|A Biliography of Conjuring Periodicals in English: 1791-1983]], 1986, p. 316</ref>

How to Add More Magic to Your Comedy

This was the working title of a book of Crandall's magic that Bruce Cervon and Ron Bauer had planned to write. After Cervon died in 2007, Bauer stated:

Unfortunately, several years of procrastination followed by Bruce’s illness delayed our progress on the book. Now that Bruce has passed on, I doubt that I'll ever write and publish it, mostly because he was the connection to Clarke's family who should be part of the project.[3]
