 Ed Marlo is often erroneously cited as the creator due to his inclusion of the technique in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10999/Off+The+Top/17-19|Off the Top]]//, 1945, p. 14 & 16, as "Rub Away" and "Rub-Away-Mag", respectively. Ed Marlo is often erroneously cited as the creator due to his inclusion of the technique in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10999/Off+The+Top/17-19|Off the Top]]//, 1945, p. 14 & 16, as "Rub Away" and "Rub-Away-Mag", respectively.
  
-During his lecture on Charlie Miller at the 2007 MAGIC Live! convention in Las Vegas, Johnny Thompson made the claim that Miller was the originator of the vanish.

-While the face-up vanish was the original, it never gained traction. The face-down handling became "the" Rub-a-Dub Vanish. Since then, several magicians have inadvertently gone full circle to develop face-up handlings of their own: these variants include Arthur Buckley's in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14362/Card+Control/129|Card Control]]//, 1946, p. 127 (which Steve Beam reinvented in //The Trapdoor//, No. 9, 1985, p. 152), Jay Sankey's in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13337/Spectacle/31-33|Spectacle]]//, 1990, p. 31, Allan Ackerman's in //Wednesday Nights//, 1994, p. 5 (utilizing the [[cards:ultra_move|one-handed top change]]), and Tyler Wilson's in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/25315/Magic/204-205|MAGIC]]//, Vol. 14 No. 2, Oct. 2004, p. 86. While most of these face-up handlings are novel, Sankey's ended up being a direct reinvention of Louine's original technique.+While the face-up vanish was the original, it never gained traction.

While most of these face-up handlings are novel, Sankey's ended up being a direct reinvention of Louine's original technique.
