-This trick was written about circa early 18th century. It was described in the unpublished //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38803/Gibeci+re/78|Asti Manuscript]]//, c. 1700, p. 77 of the Pieper translation. This manuscript was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol. 8 No. 1, Winter 2013, p. 29-234. The idea didn't hit the published page until Diego Zamorano's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/30888/Gibeci+re/118|Thesoro Atractivo de Curiosos]]//, 1740, p. 118 of the Pieper translation. The English translation was included in //Gibecière//, Vol. 6 No. 2, Summer 2011, p. 97-176. Zamorano describes it using a small, short sword (which sounds like a large knife depending on your perspective). Zamorano gives two methods and in both cases he suggests spreading the cards on the table.+This trick was written about circa early 18th century.

 This effect can later be found in Edmé-Gilles Guyot's //Nouvelles Récréations, Physiques et Mathématiques//, 1769, p. 7 of the Hugard translation (unpublished). The cards were strewn on the floor and the selection or selections stabbed with a sword. In //[[http://askalexander.org/display/5129/Decremps+from+Kaufman/172|Testament de Jérome Sharp]]//, 1785, p. 172 of the Hugard translation (unpublished), Henri Decremps described the same effect, but in a final note mentioned that, if you found yourself without a sword, a knife could be used, with the cards spread on a table to avoid your assuming an awkward position. This effect can later be found in Edmé-Gilles Guyot's //Nouvelles Récréations, Physiques et Mathématiques//, 1769, p. 7 of the Hugard translation (unpublished).
