 ====== Corner-Shorted Cards, Locating ======
-In //Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic//, 1967, p. 150, Vernon published the idea of tapping the deck on one corner to cause a corner-shorted card to jog from the edge. The idea was explained in more detail in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13100/The+Lost+Inner+Secrets/31|The Vernon Chronicles, Vol. 1]]//, 1987, p. 2, in which Vernon said he had learned the idea from a gambler in San Francisco. Ed Marlo, in his //[[http://askalexander.org/display/11035/Advanced+Fingertip+Control/67|Advanced Fingertip Control]]//, 1970, p. 64, writes that he had been using this technique "for years." This came three years after Vernon had published the idea, yet Marlo did not mention it.
+In //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10977/The+Patented+Shuffle/118|The Patented Shuffle]]//, 1964, p. 10 of the section "I Shuffled the Cards", Marlo published the idea of tapping the deck on one corner to cause a "Marlo Short Card" to jog from the edge. This was not a traditional corner-shorted card, but one with a one-sided stripper cut. Vernon published the idea again (with a traditional corner-shorted card) without attribution in Ganson's //Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic//, 1967, p. 150. It was explained in more detail in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13100/The+Lost+Inner+Secrets/31|The Vernon Chronicles, Vol. 1]]//, 1987, p. 2, in which Vernon said he had learned the idea from a gambler in San Francisco.
