 ====== Push-off Double Lift ======
-This idea, while commonly credited to Marlo and Vernon, is Laurie Ireland's. See the [[cards:pull-down|Pull-down]].
+The double push-off as a technique for a [[cards:second_deal]] (see Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12776/Essential+Robert+Houdin/243|Les Tricheries des Grecs Devoilées]]//, 1861, p. 169 of the Hoffmann translation) predates its use for a [[cards:double_lift]].
+The simulated double push-off often associated with Dai Vernon was created by Laurie Ireland. He published the technique in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/18737/Ireland+s+New+Card+and+Coin+Manipulation/10|Ireland's New Card and Coin Manipulation 1935]]//, 1935, p. 9, where it is used in the context of a false count for "Six-card Repeat," rather than a multiple turnover. Ed Marlo later used the same push-off mechanics for a double lift -- both one- and two-handed -- in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10999/Off+The+Top/10|Off the Top]]//, 1945, p. 7. Vernon attempted to claim the same move over twenty years later in //Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic//, 1967, p. 54.
