-The original of the trick in which a spectator tries and fails to place a paper clip onto the center card of a glued array of cards while it is face down was devised by G. W. Hunter: It was marketed as "Wrong Again!" by Will Goldston, who touted it on p. 69 of Goldston's //Magazine of Magic//, October 1916 (Vol. 4No. 5). His ad for it appeared in the Sept. 1916 issue of //[[http://askalexander.org/display/4237/Magic+Wand+Vol+07/35|The Magic Wand]]// (Vol. 7No. 1, p. 35). Joe Stuthard marketed an improved version called "Klip-Trick Monte" in April 1950 (see ads in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/36705/Genii/40|Genii]]//, Vol. 14No. 8, back cover; //[[http://askalexander.org/display/37495/Linking+Ring/176|The Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 30No. 2, back cover). Stuthard changed Hunter's glued fan of cards to a glued straight row of cards. The target card in the center was a loose half card that was stolen away in the second phase to create a vanish. Further details on the methods are given in //Prolix//, No. 9, 2012, p. 588.+The original of the trick in which a spectator tries and fails to place a paper clip onto the center card of a glued array of cards while it is face down was devised by G.
