 ====== Four Robbers Trick ======
-An early version of this plot, using three Jacks as "knaves" and a King as the "constable" appears in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/21485/Breslaw+s+Last+Legacy/57|Breslaw's Last Legacy]]// (1784), p. 31.
+This was a favorite effect of the early conjuring world, cropping up again and again over the centuries. In the Winter, 2013 issue of //Gibecière// (Vol. 8, No. 1), footnote #9 said the following:
+"The Four Robbers" trick appeared in Robert Greene's //A notable discovery of coosnage//, London, 1591.
