 ====== One-Handed Top Palm ======
-The first published description of a one-handed top palm is believed to be in Prof. Hoffmann's //[[http://www.conjuringcredits.com/lib/tpl/credits/files/1889-hoffmann-one-hand-palm.pdf|Tricks with Cards]]//, 1889, “To Palm the Top Card with One Hand only”, p. 17. The Top Palm handling is given in the penultimate paragraph of this article, and is credited to W. J. Collins.

 Leonzo (stage name of L. A. Young) published a more refined method for the One-Handed Top Palm, for both single and multiple cards, in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38610/The+Sphinx/9|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 5 No. 7, Sep. 1906, p. 81. Leonzo claimed to have created it "some time ago". This same technique was later described as one of L'Homme Masqué's in Camille Gaultier's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20099/Magic+Without+Apparatus/111|Magic without Apparatus]]//, 1914, p. 91. Walter Gibson also published a method---albeit an awkward one using the forefinger---in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38627/The+Sphinx/8|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 17 No. 12, Feb. 1919, p. 232.
