 ====== Card Vanish Using Moistened Back of Hand ======
-The trick of vanishing a card from the deck by knocking it or touching it subtly with the moistened back of the hand, which secretly picks up the top card, dates back to Oazanam's //Recréatifs mathématiques et physiques//, 1693. See Gaultier's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20099/Magic+Without+Apparatus/32|Magic Without Apparatus]]//, p. 12, No. 25.
+The trick of vanishing a card from the deck by knocking it or touching it subtly with the moistened back of the hand, which secretly picks up the top card, dates back to the //Asti Manuscript// (c. 1700), within a trick with the translated title of “To cause a card to pass from one pile to another.” This manuscript was translated by Dr. Lori Pieper in the Winter, 2013 issue of //Gibecière// (Vol. 8, No. 1). It later appeared in Jacques Oazanam's //Recréatifs mathématiques et physiques//, 1693. See Gaultier's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20099/Magic+Without+Apparatus/32|Magic Without Apparatus]]//, p. 12, No. 25.
