-Invented by Bob Driebeek and marketed by Harry Stanley, who later published it in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/3016/Gen+Vol+23/250|The Gen]]// (Vol. 23, No. 11, March 1968). An additional handling by John F Pooley is also detailed. The original effect was that of placing a coin on a face-up packet, then covering it with the other portion of the deck. When the packets were next separated, the card beneath the coin had changed. The gimmick was a card with a hole in it. Edward Marlo published an "open" version with a face-up deck in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12843/Pallbearers+Review+Vol+1+2/51|Pallbearers Review]]// (Vol. 1, No. 10, Aug. 1966, p. 49) that used a flat palm steal, titled "Card Flight". An overview of the many subsequent versions appears on page 63 of //Kabbala//, Vol. 2, under "Tosheroon Two" by Herb Zarrow. See also pages 40-43 ("Razzle Dazzle") of Frank Garcia's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/20227/Million+Dollar+Card+Secrets/42|Million Dollar Card Secrets]]//, "Snaparoon" in Don England's //Technical Knock-outs //for a rubber banded version, "Zaney Gimmick" versions by Mike Rogers and Jon Racherbaumer in //The Complete Mike Rogers//, and pages 93-95 of //Kabbala//, Vol. 1, No. 12. Tosheroon was a slang name for the old half crown among British cab drivers and barrow boys.
