 ====== Banded Deck ======
-Henry Hardin used the idea of wrapping a deck in rubber bands his marketed “Peerless Monte-Cristo Cards,” 1909. Hardin's trick only encircled the deck along its width. Both axes were wrapped in Robertson Keene's "A 20th Century Card Transformation" from //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10739/The+magician+monthly/211|The Magician Monthly]]//, Vol. 13 No. 11, Oct. 1917, p. 167.
+Wrapping a deck in rubber bands was used to make a card transposition seem more impossible in Henry Hardin's "A Card Miracle" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16189/Mahatma+Vol+4+No+07/4|Mahatma]]//, Vol. 4 No. 7, Jan. 1901, n.p. It used duplicate cards and the [[card_appearance_in_goblet|goblet rotation move]]. Hardin would later reuse the banded deck for his marketed “Peerless Monte-Cristo Cards,” 1909, but this time as a restrictive element during a card selection process, much in the same vein as the [[tossed-out_deck|tossed-out deck]].
+The description of "A Card Miracle" is unclear about whether the rubber bands were wrapped around one of the deck's axes, or both. A clear-cut instance of the deck being wrapped along both axes for an even more restrictive card change is Fred J. Peters's "A Surprising Card Trick" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16200/Mahatma+Vol+6+No+06/4|Mahatma]]//, Vol. 6 No. 6, Dec. 1902, p. 56.
