 ====== Slip Force ======
-The Slip Force depends on the mechanics of a much older, forgotten color change, which used the slip mechanism to overtly cause one card to change into another. This appeared in the unpublished //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38803/Gibeci+re/52|MSS III, 18]]//, also called “the Asti Manuscript”, c. 1700, p. 51 of the Pieper translation. The manuscript was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol. 8 No. 1, Winter 2013, p. 29-234. The same application later hit the printed page in Edme-Gilles Guyot's //Nouvelles Récréations Physiques et Mathématiques//, 1769, p. 33 of the unpublished Hugard translation.
+===== Precursor =====
-The force application appears to be a twentieth-century creation. It appeared in Ellis Stanyon's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16754/Stanyon+s+Magic+Vol+13+No+03/4|Magic]]//, Vol. 13 No. 3, Dec. 1912, p. 20. As was often the case with Stanyon, he didn't supply a source for who developed the move. Victor Farelli, in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13873/Card+Magic+Part+Two/4|Farelli's Card Magic - Part Two]]//, 1933, p. 64, shares his belief that Nate Leipzig is to thank for the move's creation.
+The Slip Force depends on the mechanics of a much older, forgotten color change, which used the slip mechanism to cause one card to change openly into another. This appeared in the unpublished //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38803/Gibeci+re/52|MSS III, 18]]//, also called “the Asti Manuscript”, c. 1700, p. 51 of the Pieper translation. The manuscript was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol. 8 No. 1, Winter 2013, p. 29-234. The same application later hit the printed page in Edme-Gilles Guyot's //Nouvelles Récréations Physiques et Mathématiques//, 1769, p. 33 of the unpublished Hugard translation.
-A modern handling is commonly attributed to Gary Kurtz, due to its appearance in //Unexplainable Acts//, 1990, p. 26, but the same mechanics were developed and published by Marc Delahousse in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20325/M+U+M/694|M-U-M]]//, Vol. 67 No. 8, Jan. 1978, p. 34.
+===== Two-Handed Force =====
+The force force application appears to be a twentieth-century creation. It appeared as "The 'Slip' Force" in Ellis Stanyon's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16754/Stanyon+s+Magic+Vol+13+No+03/4|Magic]]//, Vol. 13 No. 3, Dec. 1912, p. 20, as a knife stabbing force. Stanyon didn't cite a source for the sleight. One month later on the other side of the Atlantic, Val Evans claimed credit for the move in "The Slip Up To Date" in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38242/The+Sphinx/17|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 11 No. 11, Jan. 1913, p. 221.
+Victor Farelli described it as a [[cards:riffle_force|Riffle Force]] instead of a stabbing force in "A Clean Slip" //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13873/Card+Magic+Part+Two/4|Farelli's Card Magic - Part Two]]//, 1933, p. 64. He wrote: "I think it was originated by Mr. Leipzig".
+A modern handling, commonly attributed to Gary Kurtz, due to its appearance in //Unexplainable Acts//, 1990, p. 26, has the same mechanics developed and published by Marc Delahousse in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20325/M+U+M/694|M-U-M]]//, Vol. 67 No. 8, Jan. 1978, p. 34, "Forcing a Card on the Slide".
+===== One-Handed Slip Riffle Force =====
+Doing the slip one-handed, while sliding out the top half onto another surface, was described by Eddie Joseph in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/10367/How+Gamblers+Win/6|How Gambler's Win]]//, 1941, p. 4. It also appeared as "The One-Handed Riffle Force" in T. Page Wright's posthumously published //[[https://askalexander.org/display/17916/Page+Wright+s+Manuscript+Sixty+years+of+lost+secrets/94|Page Wright's Manuscript]]//, 1991 (written ca. 1929), p. 96.
+A handling in which the upper portion is flipped over face down while it slides out was contributed by Bruce Cervon as "Flip Over Force" to //[[https://askalexander.org/display/37043/Genii/29|Genii]]//, Vol. 36 No. 5, May 1972, p. 229.
