 The effect of causing four or five cards arranged in a row to reverse their sequence magically was released by Verral Wass as "Rifle Range" in his book //Astound Your Audience, Volume 1: Cards//, 1936, p. 84. This involved gimmicked jumbo cards in a houlette.
-The first close-up version was Alan Alan's marketed trick, "Countdown," 1964. This used roughed cards. Then an ungimmicked method, titled "1-2-3-4-5," was published by Noel Stanton in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/7652/Gen+Vol+21/39|The Gen]]//, Vol. 21 No. 2, June 1965, p. 39. In //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12843/Pallbearers+Review+Vol+1+2/69|Pallbearers Review]]//, Vol. 2 No. 2, Dec. 1966, p. 67, Karl Fulves gives a method called "Order in the Court" by Dai Vernon and states in the following issue on [[http://askalexander.org/display/12843/Pallbearers+Review+Vol+1+2/79|page 77]] that the Stanton trick was the inspiration for Vernon's approach and Alan's gimmicked method. Stanton's trick was apparently in circulation before its appearance in //The Gen//. During this same time, Nick Trost published an early, related effect, called "Five in a Row," in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/24812/New+Tops/644|New Tops]]//, Vol. 4 No. 12, Dec. 1964, p. 76. In Trost's effect, the Ace and Five at the opposite ends of the row had to be openly exchanged, upon which the three cards between them magically reversed their order.

 In //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12843/Pallbearers+Review+Vol+1+2/84|Pallbearers Review]]//, Vol. 2 No. 4, Feb. 1967, p. 82, Robert Parrish gives a method for the Palindrome effect using ungimmicked cards. He states that he worked this out “Several years ago”, making him a further member of the group independently tackling the problem c. 1964-5.
