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.

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. |
