Comments: Don Alan's approach to the Benson Bowl routine. Introduction says he published it because someone else published his version in a book without his permission, and it was incorrect! From my limited research, it appears that the Don Alan Bowl Routine was first introduced in 1953 by Harold Martin, of Martin's Magic shop, in Peoria, IL.
