+This technique appeared in an unpublished notebook circa 1800. Will Houstoun transcribed the anonymous book and published it as //The Notebook//, 2009, p. 29. No technical details about finger grips are mentioned.
-It later hit the published page in Jean-Nicholas Ponsin's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/22880/Nouvelle+magie+blanche+d+voil+e+Tome+I+Ponsin/39-41|Nouvelle Magie Blanche Dévoilée]]//, 1853, p. 35.

This early description already has the modern finger grips in use, with the right hand's card both starting and ending between the right index finger and thumb.
-The improved handling that does not require noticeable changes in finger grips is described in Carl Bosco's //Zauberkünste ober die Taschenspielerkunst in Ihrem Ganzen Umfange//, 1865, p. 9. This is three years before Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin published the same technical upgrades in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/29472/The+Secrets+of+Conjuring+and+Magic/171|Les Secrets de la Prestidigitation et de la Magie]]//, 1868, p. 151 of the Hoffmann translation.
