-The plot of the deck instantly reversing itself seems first to have appeared in a crude form courtesy of Bill Simon, whose "A Set of Surprises" was published in Rufus Steele's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/15157/52+Amazing+Card+Tricks+Professional+Tricks+that+Anyone+Can+Do/22-24|52 Amazing Card Tricks]]//, 1949, p. 21. Toni Koynini later introduced the modern version of the Inversion effect as part of his Ambitious Card sequence in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20526/Wizard/81-82|The Wizard]]//, Vol. 5 No. 51, Sep. 1951, p. 81. Bruce Cervon also used the effect with his "Kellie Displacement" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20049/Epilogue/53|Epilogue]]//, No. 6, July 1969, p. 43; reprinted in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12760/The+Cervon+File/51|The Cervon File]]//, 1988, p. 50.+The plot of the deck instantly reversing itself appeared in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38442/The+Sphinx/8-9|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 30 No. 7, Sep. 1931, p. 310, as "Sympathy" by O. Meyer. Bill Simon later incorporated the idea as a side plot in his "A Set of Surprises" from Rufus Steele's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/15157/52+Amazing+Card+Tricks+Professional+Tricks+that+Anyone+Can+Do/22-24|52 Amazing Card Tricks]]//, 1949, p. 21. Toni Koynini included the now-modern approach of causing the deck reversal to occur with a visual, magical moment, describing it as part of his Ambitious Card sequence in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20526/Wizard/81-82|The Wizard]]//, Vol. 5 No. 51, Sep. 1951, p. 81. Bruce Cervon also used the effect with his "Kellie Displacement" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20049/Epilogue/53|Epilogue]]//, No. 6, July 1969, p. 43; reprinted in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12760/The+Cervon+File/51|The Cervon File]]//, 1988, p. 50.
  
 The Inversion plot was later popularized by James Lewis, who added the name and outjogged-card feature in Michael Ammar's //Encore II//, 1981, p. 25 (credited as "Jim Louis"). Another oft-cited source is Richard Kaufman's "The World's Fastest Reverse" from //[[http://askalexander.org/display/17425/Cardmagic/45|CardMagic]]//, 1979, p. 35, but he, too, was several decades late to the plot. The Inversion plot was later popularized by James Lewis, who added the name and outjogged-card feature in Michael Ammar's //Encore II//, 1981, p. 25 (credited as "Jim Louis").
