Leech returned to this plot several timesin the context of a sandwich trick. See "The Casino Trick" in //Cardmanship// (p. 13), "A Transposition: Table Method" in //For Card Men Only// (p. 20) and "Ace Sandwich" in //Card Man Stuff// (p. 6)This last one is closest in the structure of its method to "One-Eyed Jack Sandwich". There was a move in the version Leech showed Lorayne that Lorayne thought unconvincing and changed in his handling. He also writes that he showed his version to Fred Braue, who went on to publish a version with an altered presentation.
