There is a story in the Sunday NY Times book reviews about magicians (http://nytimes.com/2003/12/07/books/review/07TELLERT.html, free, but signup required), and one John Nevil Maskelyne is mentioned there. I wonder if anybody on the list knows whether he is kin to the Maskelyne of Nautical Almanac fame? Fred
