 Hercat devised a parlor dressing for the transposition, which was published as "Two Cards Changed after Being Laid on the Tops of Two Glasses" in Will Goldston's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/9988/Magician+Annual/64|Magician Annual, 1907-1908]]//, p. 62.

-Years later John Scarne used a similar staging, but used only one glass, separating the two cards by placing one under the glass, the other on top of it. He was recorded doing this in a Schaefer Beer television commercial. See //[[http://askalexander.org/display/39135/Precursor/3|Precursor]]//, No. 22, Nov. 1988, p. 2, and //[[http://askalexander.org/display/39136/Precursor/2|Precursor]]//, No. 23, May 1989, p. 1. For close-up performance, Scarne used Double Lifts in place of Bottom Changes, and only one duplicate. Scarne's performance in the Schaefer Beer commercial can be seen [[https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=154623634624728|here]].+Years later John Scarne used a similar staging, but used only one glass, separating the two cards by placing one under the glass, the other on top of it.
