The Ascanio Spread by Jon Racherbaumer

Arturo De Ascanio of Madrid, Spain started the whole business. His original manuscript, dated December of 1970 and typed in Spanish, was given to Mike Rogers (through the persuasion of Del Cartier) to be published in M-U-M. Rogers realized that the move caused some excitement at the convention in Amsterdam (July -1970) and American cardmen would appreciate learning something new and different. In fact, Rogers, Pete Biro, Herb Zarrow, and others that attended the convention in Holland were instrumental in "spreading the word." This manuscript will hopefully be instrumental in the "wording of the Spread, " making it a technique that every cardman will be able to understand and do.
