Comments: Drawings by Joseph K. Schmidt. Epilogue was a magaizine printed by Karl Fulves concentrating mostly on card magic from the late 1960's to the mid 1970's. This contents listing I obtained from The Magic Files is, I believe, the listing of the actual individual issues, and may differ slightly from what's in the hardcover. For example, this list includes Riffle Shuffle Technique, which does not appear in Denis Behr's index for the hardcover book, so I'm not sure if it is considered part of Epiloque or not. A lot more details of each effect can be found at Denis' site: archive.denisbehr.de
