-In the mid-nineteenth century, Johann Hofzinser performed a strikingly similar plot to The MacDonald Ace Assembly as one phase of a larger routine called "A Power of Faith," published in Ottokar Fischer's //Kartenkünste//, 1910, p. 69 of the Sharpe translation. It used double-faced cards, much like the modern variants. The first trick of its kind to be published was Kaufmann's "Prepared Four Ace Trick" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16219/Mahatma+Vol+7+No+11/3|Mahatma]]//, Vol. 7 No. 11, May 1904, p. 125, six years before Hofzinser's material was released.+In the mid-nineteenth century, Johann Hofzinser performed a strikingly similar plot to The MacDonald Ace Assembly as one phase of a larger routine called "A Power of Faith," published in Ottokar Fischer's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/29356/J+N+Hofzinser+s+Card+Conjuring/73|Kartenkünste]]//, 1910, p. 69 of the Sharpe translation.
