An early record of Dai Vernon's experimenting with the plot (later called "Matching the Cards" in //Dai Vernon's Inner Secrets of Card Magic//, 1959, p. 22) appeared in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38494/The+Sphinx/5|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 24 No. 11, Jan. 1926, p. 425, in Max Holden's "Trouping Around in Magic" column. Another instance of the magician-in-trouble theme, though with a different plot, is found in the next issue: T.
