-This plot was first published or marketed by Charles C. Jordan as a trick titled "Pink Elephants," 1916. Jordan, in turn, credited William McGrew with the plot. Henry Christ and Arthur Finley were also early experimenters with the plot.
+This plot was first published or marketed by Charles T. Jordan as a trick titled "Speaking of Pink Elephants!", 1916. Jordan, in turn, credited William McGrew with the plot. The method utilized long and short card pairs, glued at one end.
+Students will find it interesting to compare Theodore Annemann's "Color Changing Deck" in his //$50 Manuscript//, 1932, with Dai Vernon's influential handling in //Dai Vernon's Inner Secrets of Card Magic// by Lewis Ganson, 1959, p. 25. It seems likely that Vernon built on Annemann's handling, adding refinements.
+In 1948, Joe Stuthard marketed the Bi-Co Trilby Deck, which used End Strippers to cause the backs of the deck to change from red to blue and vice versa; see //[[https://askalexander.org/display/7909/Wizard+Vol+2+Issue+13+-+24/352|The Wizard]]//, Vol. Vol. 2, No. 22, Jan. 1949, p. 352. This was a direct variation of Ellsworth Lyman's "Color Changing Trick" in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38528/The+Sphinx+Vol+6+Issue+9/7|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 6, No. 9, Nov. 1907, p. 107. Lyman's deck used End Strippers to cause the faces to change to all red cards, then all black cards. (In turn, Lyman's gimmicked deck was a development of the [[cards:impromptu_long-short_deck|Impromptu Long-Short Deck]] principle.)
