Origins traced back to Professor W. Norris, who performed at The Crystal Palace in London from 1868 to 1885. He used a model of a swan to find a chosen card. This was the predecessor of the Card Duck.[1] Around 1932, Laurie Ireland began working on the idea, and Ireland's released "Otto the Automaton Duck" in mid-1936.[2]
The Card Duck was largely popularized by Clarke "The Senator" Crandall. Senator Crandall's Duck Deck Routine was released circa 1970. Contents:
- Page 1 Introduction
- Page 3 The Routine
- Page 5 Patter and Presentation
- Page 8 The Deck
- Page 9 The Mini-Duck
- Page 10 "Anatomy of a Trick" by Frances E. Marshall
The trick was also published as "Crandall's Routine for the Card Duck" in the Magic, Inc. instructions for "Herbie, the Mod Duck."
