 The double-card fold-and-tear method was invented by Charles Jordan, who contributed it, in the context of a Torn and Restored Tissue Paper to Floyd Thayer's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16804/Magical+Bulletin/2|Magical Bulletin]]//, Vol. 3 No. 8, Aug. 1915, n.p. The method was later applied to playing cards, as indicated by Karl Fulves in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12966/Charles+Jordan+s+Best+Card+Tricks/31|Charles Jordan's Best Card Tricks]]//, 1992, p. 18. The idea of using a pair of pseudo-duplicates like the Nine and Ten of Hearts as a convincing touch in a torn-and-restored-card effect is also Jordan's.
