-The effect of causing the condition of a packet of mixed face-up and face-down cards to transpose with a packet of cards all facing one way began with the title "Giant Acrobatic Cards" but is better known by the name Paul Harris gave it, "Traveling Triumph". U. F. Grant invented "Giant Acrobatic Cards" in 1930, using eighteen jumbo cards, ten of which were double backed. This was advertised in October 1930 by H. Marshall & Co., without Grant's name being featured (see //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38647/The+Sphinx/37|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 29 No. 8, p. 337). The next month, in A. P. Felsman's ad, the trick is identified as Grant's (//[[http://askalexander.org/display/38648/The+Sphinx/40|The Sphinx]]//, No. 1930, Vol. 29 No. 9, p. 388). Two years later the trick was described in Burling Hull's //Stage Magic// (1932), followed by Glenn Gravatt in his //[[http://askalexander.org/display/17459/Encyclopedia+of+Self+Working+Card+Tricks/126|Encyclopedia of Self Working Card Tricks]]// (1936, p. 125and the Jean Hugard revision, //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14938/Encyclopedia+of+Card+Tricks/130|Encyclopedia of Card Tricks]]// (1937, p. 127).+The effect of causing the condition of a packet of mixed face-up and face-down cards to transpose with a packet of cards all facing one way began with the title "Giant Acrobatic Cards" but is better known by the name Paul Harris gave it, "Traveling Triumph".
