 ====== Step Peek ======
-Perhaps the earliest description of collapsing a break into step (which was described as early as the //Asti Manuscript//, c. 1700) to glimpse a riffle-peeked selection appears in Buckley's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14362/Card+Control+A+Post+Graduate+Course+on+Practical+Methods/36|Card Control]]// (1946), p. 34. Buckley ascribes no source for it, and Malini's use of it (according to Vernon) suggests it was old by this time.
+The step peek involves collapsing a break into a step. This basic action was described in the anonymous //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38803/Gibeci+re/107|Asti Manuscript]]//, c. 1700, p. 106 of the Pieper translation. This manuscript was translated in //Gibecière//, Vol.8 No.1, Winter 2013, p. 29-234. Arthur Buckley described using the technique to glimpse a riffle-peeked selection in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14362/Card+Control+A+Post+Graduate+Course+on+Practical+Methods/36|Card Control]]//, 1946, p. 34. Buckley ascribes no source for it.
-Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin described a related, ancestral peek with the translated title of "The Card Seen by a Glance" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12776/Essential+Robert+Houdin/247|Les Trickeries des Grecs Dévoilées]]// (1861).
