 ====== It's a Pip Paint ======
-This latex paint formula was invent by Judges Charles W. Fricke and Caryl Fleming, and marketed by Fleming in 1937. However, the idea of using rub-off pips is very old and is described in early conjuring texts, in which pomatum (a sticky ointment) and jet were used for the same purpose. This appears in the first issue, Aug. 1791, of //The Conjuror's Magazine//, although it is probably drawn from an earlier work by Pinetti or elsewhere.
+This latex paint formula was invented by Judges Charles W. Fricke and Caryl Fleming, and marketed by Fleming in 1937. However, the idea of using rub-off pips is very old and is described in early conjuring texts. The original form of the principle involved cutting out a pip from one card and sticking it onto another, making a four appear to be a five, or an eight a nine, for example. When the card was turned face down, the magician would steal the additional pip away to effect a change. This was published in Horatio Galasso's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13226/Gibeci+re/61|Giochi  di carte bellissimi de regola, e di memoria]]//, 1593, p. 61 of the Pieper translation. This book was translated and published in //Gibecière//, Vol. 2 No. 2, Summer 2007, p. 15-150.
+The transition to a powder-and-soap-based imposter appears to have take place in the eighteenth century. Its use at the gaming table appeared in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/36270/Gibeci+re/107-110|L’Antidote ou le contrepoison des chevaliers d’industrie]]//, 1768, p. 107 of the Pieper translation. This book was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol. 7 No. 2, Summer 2012, p. 60-175. It later appeared in conjuring literature in Giuseppe Pinetti's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10258/Amusemens+Physiques+et+Differentes+Experiences+Divertissanes+1784/19|Physical Amusements and Diverting Experiments]]//, 1784, p. 20.
