 For Dr. Jacob Daley's handling, see "Impromptu Torn and Restored Card Effect" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38390/The+Sphinx/5|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 37 No. 3, May 1938, p. 61. Lu Brent also had a double-card fold-and-tear handling in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/22033/Novel+Magic/29|Novel Magic]]//, 1932, p.27. While R. W. Hull is frequently credited with the principle, he came late to the game with his handling in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14536/The+Complete+Eye+Openers/82|More "Eye-Openers"]]//, 1933, p. 22. In his description he cites Lu Brent as well as Joe Berg's "Berg's Paper Fold" as the sources for the fold-and-tear principle. All three parties seem unaware of Jordan's 1919 trick. Hull claims only the touch of tearing one corner from the signed selection, so that it can be handed to the person who did the signing, while three other pieces of the second card are handed out to three other people. Those three pieces are then gathered and the restoration effected. Only three-quarters of the card is restored, and the fourth quarter is fitted into place as proof the card is the same one. For Dr. Jacob Daley's handling, see "Impromptu Torn and Restored Card Effect" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38390/The+Sphinx/5|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 37 No. 3, May 1938, p. 61.
