First Magic Trick in Space?

On the Amazing Adventure 5 ~ Skeptics of the Caribbean the JREF showed the video of Randi and Ed Lu performing "the first card trick in space". I am trying to add this to Ed Lu & Randi's wikipedia pages but am being challenged if it is truly the first.

I need some documentation. Randi mentions on the videos that the Miami Newspaper was at the JREF office when the trick was being performed and they acted as witnesses. I have searched their archives and can't find any reference to it.

I have videos of the event but can't find documentation that it was the first Magic Trick in Space or First Card Trick in Space.

Would love a bit of help here please.

I can't post links yet, but if you do a search for Magic Trick Done In Space By Astronaut, you'll see a Google newspaper clip from the Gadsden Times dated June 10, 1991. In the James Randi video I watched on YT (Ed Lu & James Randi Preform First Magic Trick in Space ~ 1), it isn't completely clear, but from what I could discern he says he went up in 2004 at the very beginning of the clip.
 
Yeah, that will work! hummm

never mind I changed the Wiki articles and the YouTube videos to say "magic trick" not "first magic trick" boo hoo
 
You could just ignore the contradictory evidence and just keep repeating your own emotional beliefs over and over - ad nauseum..

Oh wait - that's a different group of people.. NM. :-P
