 ====== Corner-Shorted Cards, Locating ======
-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.
+J. G. Thompson, Jr. 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 a 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. 2, in which Vernon said he had learned the idea from a gambler in San Francisco.
