-This technique involves holding a deck from above, with the top card sidejogged. Throwing the deck down towards the table causes the sidejogged card to turn over and land on top of the deck, reversed. This is described in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20696/The+Boy+s+Own+Book/206|The Boy's Own Book]]//, 1829, p. 202. It also turns up in a trick called "In Flight" from R.P.'s //Ein Spiel Karten//, 1853, p. 60 of the Pieper translation.+With this technique, a face-down deck is held from above, with the top card secretly sidejogged.

This is described in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20696/The+Boy+s+Own+Book/206|The Boy's Own Book]]//, 1829, p. 202. It also turns up in a trick called "In Flight" from R.P.'s //Ein Spiel Karten//, 1853, p. 60 of the Pieper translation.

-A precursor technique appeared in Henri Decremps //[[http://askalexander.org/display/5129/Decremps+from+Kaufman/162-163|Testament de Jerome Sharp]]//, 1786, p. 162 of the Hugard translation (unpublished). In this handling, the deck is held in dealers grip, and instead of dropping the deck, the magician keeps hold of it as he swings his arm down quickly, causing the sidejogged card to flip over.+An earlier, related technique appears in Henri Decremps's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/5129/Decremps+from+Kaufman/162-163|Testament de Jerome Sharp]]//, 1786, p. 162 of the Hugard translation (unpublished).
