 ====== Ultra Move ======
-This move first hit the page in Jean-Nicholas Ponsin's //Nouvelle Magie Blanche Dévoilée//, 1853, p. 38, and later with illustrations in Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/29472/The+Secrets+of+Conjuring+and+Magic/206|Les Secrets de la Prestidigitation et de la Magie]]//, 1868, p. 186 of the Hoffmann translation, although Robert-Houdin said it was impossible to do secretly.
+This one-handed [[top_change|top change]] first hit the page in Jean-Nicholas Ponsin's //Nouvelle Magie Blanche Dévoilée//, 1853, p. 38, and later with illustrations in Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/29472/The+Secrets+of+Conjuring+and+Magic/206|Les Secrets de la Prestidigitation et de la Magie]]//, 1868, p. 186 of the Hoffmann translation. Ponsin described the move as a secret switch, whereas Robert-Houdin had an entirely different opinion; he thought the move was impossible to do without detection, and instead described it as an open flourish.
 In //[[http://askalexander.org/display/16778/Stanyon+s+Magic+Vol+15+No+03/6|Magic]]//, Vol. 15 No. 3, Dec. 1919, p. 22, the change was described as the hand is tilted back. It was taught in a section dealing with secret switches, with no mention of this switch being any less covert. This section was a serial column called "The Dictionary of Magical Effects", which dealt mainly with common tricks and methods of the period. Very few credits were given. The appearance of the one-handed change in this column suggests that the practice of the sleight as a secret move was known by this time.
