 R. W. Hull advertised a trick in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/33824/Linking+Ring/9|Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 10 No. 7, Sep. 1930, p. 791, titled "The Hypnotic Joker," which was never released. It was a one-deck version of the effect treated by Roterberg, whose methods all openly employed two decks. "The Hypnotic Joker" was never actually released. Its method is believed to have appeared in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/13140/Greater+Magic/383|Greater Magic]]//, 1938, p. 327, under the title "Three of Clubs," with no credit to an inventor. This method recombined elements of the methods in Roterberg. Stewart James eventually made the connection between Hull's "The Hypnotic Joker" and "Three of Clubs," which was published in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38693/Hugard+s+magic+monthly/66|Hugard's Magic Monthly]]//, Vol. 20 No. 9, May 1963, p. 66. R.

 +The methodological structure that "Three of Clubs" employed was also developed by Jack McMillen before Hull began advertising "The Hypnotic Joker". This appeared in his "The Transformer Card" within //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38568/The+Sphinx/25|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 28 No. 1, Mar. 1929, p. 25. While their structures are the same, the main difference between McMillen's and Hull's approaches is that Hull placed the initial card on the table, whereas McMillen placed it in his pocket.
