 ======Secret Addition under a Fan=======
-This family of secret additions loads cards from the top of the deck beneath a small packet, usually fanned or spread, in the opposite hand, through a pivoting action resembling the opening of a book. The first of these add-ons was recorded in “The Case of the Four Kings” by John J. Crimmins, Jr.; see //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14938/Encyclopedia+of+Card+Tricks/330|Encyclopedia of Card Tricks]]// (1938, p. 327). Crimmins didn’t hold the packet fanned or spread, but the dynamic of the add-on is the same one used in later variants that did. The sleight didn’t attract much attention and has been for the most part forgotten.

-Edward Marlo contributed a variant handling of this type of addition to Alton Sharpe’s //Expert Card Conjuring// (1968, p. 37). His add-on, using a spread packet, inspired a number of variants:

-Doug Edwards basically reinvented the sleight, with some handling differences, and published it ten years later in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/17435/Cardmania/30|Cardmania]]// (1978, p. 28). John Mendoza, after studying Marlo’s add-on and Edwards’s, developed another variant in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14713/Throwing+the+Switch/6|Throwing the Switch]]// (1982, p. 1). In the same year, John Carney, inspired by Marlo’s addition, published his distinctive version, the Versa Switch (//[[http://askalexander.org/display/37471/Genii/32|Genii]]//, Vol. 46 No. 10, Oct. 1982, p. 667). Then, in July 1984, Ed Marlo returned to the subject, publishing further variants in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/24847/New+Tops/380|The New Tops]]// (Vol. 24 No. 7, July 1984, p. 8). In 1985, Mendoza described Chris Kenner’s handling, based on Mendoza’s, in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14738/The+Right+Stuff/8|The Right Stuff]]// (p. 1). More handlings followed.
