Emerson and West were Arthur Emerson and Larry West.

They met in Washington D.C. in 1967 and within a year they formed "Emerson & West" presenting original ideas for sale at Magi-Fest in Columbus, Ohio. The first effect which they marketed, Color Monte (by Jim Temple, 1974) became their biggest single items, selling over 500,000 copies. [1]

Over the years Emerson & West produced over 121 magic items.[2] [3]
