 ====== Painting with an Incomplete-Faroed Deck ======
-The idea taking a deck that has been telescoped with an incomplete faro and brushing it over the rubber side of a close-up mat to leave behind single cards was first published by Douglas A. Wicks in //Apocalypse//, Vol. 6, No. 9, Sept. 1983, p. 820, under the title "Rembrandt Aces". Wicks's idea was to "paint" the four Aces to produce them, one by one. Wicks's built this on a "painting" production shown him by Michael Weber, who used the idea to "paint" a selection on someone's hand. Weber did not claim the idea. It probably came from Roger Curzon, who came up with the idea to produce four of a kind. This was in the mid-1970s. Curzon may have published this somewhere. His invention of the idea is well-attested to in the U.K. Chris Kenner expanded the use of the Ace-production idea to produce four royal flushes in a "Rollover Aces" variant effect ("Paint by the Numbers" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14394/Out+of+Control+Totally+Out+of+Control/143|Out of Control]]//, 1992, p. 140). Different handling of the Kenner trick were published by Doug Conn in his //Tricks of My Trade//, authored by Paul Cummins, 1999, "Flush Brush", p. 99; and in //MAGIC//, Vol. 21, No. 12, August 2013, p. 58.
+The idea taking a deck that has been telescoped with an incomplete faro and brushing it over the rubber side of a close-up mat to leave behind single cards was first published by Roger Curzon as "Wipe Out the Aces" in the March, 1982 issue of //Spell-Binder// magazine (Vol. 1, No. 11). Douglas A. Wicks later published the same idea in //Apocalypse//, Vol. 6, No. 9, Sept. 1983, p. 820, under the title "Rembrandt Aces".

 A marketed trick capitalizing on the principle, "Card Artistry", was released in 2011 by Justin Flom. This uses specially printed cards to produce a "grid" version of the Mona Lisa holding a selected card, or a "brain scan" (an x-ray of a head) with selection in brain.
