 ====== Any Card Called For ======
-Bart Whaley credits this to Herbert Brooks "sometime before 1915," with a mention of Arthur Buckley for a subsequent "non-apparatus version." The card index itself he credits ("reportedly") to Hofzinser, then J. M. Hartz, et al.
+This effect began appearing in the mid-nineteenth century. A method with a card index hidden in the lining of a top hat is described as "The Magic Hat" in R.P's //Ein Spiel Karten//, 1853, p. 25 of the Pieper translation. It also appeared as the first phase in Johann Hofzinser's "Sensation" from //Kartenkünste//, 1910, p. 55 of the Sharpe translation.
-A method with a card index hidden in the lining of a top hat is described as "The Magic Hat" in R.P's //Ein Spiel Karten//, 1853, p. 25 of the Pieper translation. This was possibly influenced by Hofzinser's work. William Henry James Shaw's //Magic and its Mysteries//, 1893, p. 13, includes "The Gambler's Pocket", which is the Any Card Called For plot using a piquet pack and an index in the form of extra pockets sewn inside one's normal coat pockets.
+Glassel and Faust’s //New and Startling Tricks//, c. 1890, p. 8, includes "The Gambler's Pocket," which is the Any Card Called For plot using a piquet pack and an index in the form of four extra pockets sewn inside one's normal coat pockets. The trick, under the same title, appeared three years later in William Henry James Shaw's //Magic and its Mysteries//, 1893, p. 13.
