-The first description occurs in R.P's //Ein Spiel Karten// (1853, translated by DrLori Pieper in 2005), in a trick with the translated title of “The Nameless Card.” It is a gag, rather than a magic trick. However, Hofzinser was known to use this gaffed card for magical uses in the mid-1800s. See Domination of Thought in //Hofzinser’s Card Conjuring// (1910, English translation 1931).+A double-backed card from 1623 has been preserved in the Augsburg Stadtarchiv in Augsburg, Germany. Information on this card was discovered by Reinhard Müller in 2017, who recognized its importance; see Minch and Müller in "The Augsburg All-Backs", //[[https://askalexander.org/display/77621/Gibeci+re/129|Gibecière]]//, Vol. 14 No. 2, Summer 2019, p. 123. To judge from the historical record, the double-backed card was generally unknown until it began to be used in tricks during the mid-1800s.

 +A use of a double-backed card appeared in R.P's //Ein Spiel Karten//1853, p68 of the Pieper translation. It was used as a gag, rather than a magic trick. However, Johann Hofzinser was known to employ this gaffed card for magical uses in the mid-1800s (see Domination of Thought: Second Method in Ottokar Fischer'//Kartenkünste //1910, p. 85 of the Sharpe translation).
