+====== One-Handed Top Palm ======
-Johann Hofzinser had a one-handed palm that was crudely described in Ottokar Fisher's //Kartenkünste//, 1910, p. 44 of the Sharpe translation. Another early technique was L'Homme Masqué's method, which was used for both single and multiple cards, appearing 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. But the common technique still used today, of the right hand arching over the deck to press down with the little finger on the front-right corner, was published by John Elrick in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38820/The+Magic+Wand/58|The Magic Wand]]//, Vol. 19 No. 145, Mar. 1930, p. 48.
+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.
+The common technique still used today, of the right hand arching over the deck to press down with the little finger on the front-right corner, was published by John Elrick in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38820/The+Magic+Wand/58|The Magic Wand]]//, Vol. 19 No. 145, Mar. 1930, p. 48.
