-The K.M. move was devised by Tony Kardyro and Ed Marlo, and jointly published in //The K.M. Move//, 1962, p. 2. It has its roots in the fingertip version of the [[slip cut]]. More directly, it has a predecessor in a move of Charles Jordan's in "Sympathetic Sympathy" from //Four Full Hands of Down to the Minute Magical Effects//, 1922, p. 27 of the 1947 edition. Jordan would hold two packs of cards, and then pull the top card of the upper pack down to the top of the lower pack during a wrist kill. The K.M. Move uses the identical actions, but with two cards instead of two decks.+The K.M. move was devised by Tony Kardyro and Ed Marlo, and jointly published in //The K.M. Move//, 1962, p. 2.

 +In 1928, William Larsen and Page Wright published a method for secretly reversing a card in the center of the deck, using a slipping action that can also be viewed as a precursor to the K.M. Move. See "A Double Reverse" in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/15058/The+L+W+Card+Mysteries/24?pw=@author%20Larsen%20Wright|The L.W. Card Mysteries]]//, p. 27.

 +Jean Irving's "Peek"---a method for reversing a peeked card in place in the center of the deck---appeared in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/13137/Phoenix/85|The Phoenix]]//, No. 70, Sep. 29, 1944, p. 286. This sleight is very similar to that described by Larsen and Wright, and may also be viewed as a relative to the K.M. Move.
