-In //Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic//, 1967, p150Vernon 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. 2in which Vernon said he had learned the idea from gambler in San Francisco. Ed Marlo, in his //[[http://askalexander.org/display/11035/Advanced+Fingertip+Control/67|Advanced Fingertip Control]]//, 1970, p. 64writes 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.+JG. ThompsonJr. published the idea of tapping the deck on one corner to cause a corner-shorted card to jog from the edge as a method of locating a reversed card in “A Super Strip Deck”, a deck in which one corner of all cards is cut short (see also [[cards:corner-shorted_cards_and_deck|Corner-Shorted Deck]]). It is the sixth method of locating the card in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/37595/Linking+Ring/46|The Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 23 No. 8, Oct. 1943, p. 46.

 +In //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10977/The+Patented+Shuffle/118|The Patented Shuffle]]//, 1964, p. 10 of the section "I Shuffled the Cards", Marlo applied the principle to a "Marlo Short Card", which is a card with a one-sided stripper cut. Vernon published the idea again (with traditional corner-shorted card) 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. 2in which Vernon said he had learned the idea from a gambler in San Francisco.
