 Before Victor's routine was published, "Super Count Routine", a collaboration by Al Keene and Edward Marlo, appeared in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20219/Marlo+in+Spades/48|Marlo in Spades]]//, 1947, p. 47. Phases of the Keene-Marlo routine have a strong resemblance to Victor's. A possible connection may have been Al Keene, who was stationed in Europe in 1946 (see //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38696/Hugard+s+Magic+Monthly/14|Hugard's Magic Monthly]]//, Vol. 4 No. 2, July 1946, p. 236) and may have learned of the Victor routine while there. That Victor may have learned of Keene's idea, while less likely, cannot be entirely ruled out. In any case, Victor's claim of having performed the trick "for many years" strongly suggests he preceded Keene and Marlo, and possibly Carlyle. The absence of any argument by or for Keene, Marlo or Carlyle preceding Victor also has bearing on the case. Before Victor's routine was published, "Super Count Routine", a collaboration by Al Keene and Edward Marlo, appeared in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20219/Marlo+in+Spades/48|Marlo in Spades]]//, 1947, p. 47.
