-The Glide has been an unshakable technique through the ages. It goes as far back as Reginald Scot's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/23197/The+discoverie+of+witchcraft/363|Discoverie of Witchcraft]]//, 1584, p. 333, and has been continually published and taught through the centuries.+The Glide has been an unshakable technique through the ages. It first appeared in print as a cheating technique for dealing Bassetta (a portion of this game is dealt from the bottom of the deck, turning the Glide into a Bassetta equivalent of a [[cards:second_deal|second deal]]). The technique wasn't described or taught, but it was mentioned in Pietro Aretino's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12741/Gibeci+re/100-103|Dialogo di Pietro Aretino nel qvale si parla del gioco con moralità piacevole]]//, 1543, p. 229. Excerpts from this book were translated, with commentary by Aurelio Paviato in //Gibecière//, Vol. 2 No. 1, Winter 2007, p. 85-118.

 The updated handling of using the right second finger and turning over the deck around it is credited by Dr. Jacob Daley to Al Baker. See //[[http://askalexander.org/display/5308/Jacob+Daley+s+Notebooks/176|Jacob Daley's Notebooks]]//, n.d. (c. 1974), n.p. (Item 633). Edward Victor published much the same idea in "A New 'Glide'", //[[http://askalexander.org/display/24748/The+Magic+of+The+Hands/20|Magic of the Hands]]//, 1937, p. 6, where he pushed back the lower card with the right first and second fingers, while using the left little finger as a stop on the inner end of the deck. The updated handling of using the right second finger and turning over the deck around it is credited by Dr. Jacob Daley to Al Baker.
