James ("The Amazing") Randi speaking
shortly after Jerry Andrus' Death

In 1954 he invented his most famous illusion, the Linking Pins.

An interesting aspect of many of his magic presentations was that Jerry would not say anything that was not true, deceiving the audience by visual means alone.[1][2][3]
