 The Flushtration Count principle does appear full-blown in 1956, done with a stack of three poker chips. See "Christopher's Chip Trick" in Walter Gibson's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/18876/What+s+New+In+Magic/172|What's New in Magic]]//, p. 168.
-While often credited to Bro. John Hamman, this false display with a packet of cards was first described in print by Norm Houghton in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/9333/Ibidem+Volume+1/56|Ibidem]]//, No. 1, June 1955, p. 8. Houghton prefaces the display -- which isn't a straight Flushstration Count -- by referring to the central concept of showing a back or face repeatedly as several different cards as being an "old principle." The "old principle" he referred to was later identified by Ariel Frailich in a footnote in Houghton's //Wit and Wizardry//, 1998, p. 55, as Harris Solomon's Hindu Shuffle False Display, published in his trick "Nomolos" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12762/The+Jinx/318|The Jinx]]//, No. 44, May 1938, p. 301. It is easy to see that the Flushtration Count is indeed a packet adaptation of Solomon's procedure with a full deck.

This display, though, was established in 1932 by Theodore Annemann. (See [[cards:hindu_shuffle_false_display|Hindu Shuffle False Display]]). It is easy to see that the Flushtration Count is indeed a packet adaptation of the Hindu Shuffle procedure with a full deck.
