 This plot appeared as a proposed effect - with no solution given - in Ellis Stanyon's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16725/Stanyon+s+Magic+Vol+10+No+10/5|Magic]]//, Vol. 10 No. 10, July 1910, p. 77, Query 103. A solution by Daiso appeared three issues later in [[http://askalexander.org/display/16728/Stanyon+s+Magic+Vol+11+No+01/5|Vol. 11 No. 1]], Oct. 1910, p. 5.
-A method for the effect didn't appear until much later, in a trick by Brother John Hamman. In his "Magician's Reprieve", a Ten spot is magically split into a Four and a Six of the same suit. This routine was published in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14721/The+Card+Magic+of+Bro+John+Hamman+S+M/17|The Card Magic of Bro. John Hamman S. M.]]//, 1958, p. 16. The split is a surprising side effect in a transposition and a creative way to circumvent the need for a duplicate.
+It was nearly half a century before another method appeared: Brother John Hamman's "Magician's Reprieve", in which a Ten spot is magically split into a Four and a Six of the same suit. This routine was published in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14721/The+Card+Magic+of+Bro+John+Hamman+S+M/17|The Card Magic of Bro. John Hamman S. M.]]//, 1958, p. 16. The split is a surprising side effect in a transposition and a creative way to circumvent the need for a duplicate.
 In James Nuzzo's "The Magic Split," a single card splits into two selections when turned face up. It appeared in Alton Sharpe's //Expert Card Conjuring//, 1968, p. 68.
