 ====== Unit Upjog Addition ======
-While generally credited to Marlo (published in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10964/Marlo+s+Magazine/32|Marlo's Magazine, Volume 1]]//, 1975, p. 25), it is said that Gordon Bruce showed this technique to Marlo.
+First published by Edward Marlo in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/10964/Marlo+s+Magazine/32|Marlo's Magazine]]//, Vol. 1, 1976, p. 25.
+A clear precursor to this sleight is found in "The Burglars: A Story Trick" in Jean Hugard's //[[https://askalexander.org/display/14513/Card+Manipulations+Series+No.+1+and+2/11|Card Manipulations, No. 1]]//, 1933, p. 10. This uncredited sleight injogs the desired cards, rather than outjogging them, and it lacks other refinements described by Marlo; however, the central concept of the two sleights is the same.
+===== Another related sleight =====
+Using a similar, simpler dynamic to the Unit Upjog Addition, a packet may be secretly loaded under the last of a small number of cards that are outjogged as they are arrived at while spreading through the deck. This sleight was first published in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/23004/The+Tarbell+Course+in+Magic+Volume+V/124|The Tarbell Course in Magic, Vol. 5]]// (1948, p. 122), where it is described within the context of "Paul Rosini's Ace Transposition". In Frank Csuri's 1961 unpublished manuscript //[[https://askalexander.org/display/22168/The+magic+of+Charles+Earle+(Charlie)+Miller/48|The Magic of Charles Earle Miller]]//, which gathers correspondence between Miller and Faucett W. Ross from 1930-1960, this addition idea is said to be Miller's; see p. 47, "26. The Four Aces and Four Jacks". Csuri dates only some of the letters, and this one is not in that group. However, it falls directly after a letter that is dated 11/24/31, and the next date given (on p. 52) is 1/20/43. So the likely period of the letter in question is the early 1930s to the early 1940s. Miller's claim to the sleight is furthered by his opening comment about it: "Paul Rosini called this 'wonderful' [...]"
