-This idea for the [[cards:veeser_concept|Veeser Concept]] first appeared in print in Larry Jennings's "Look an Illusion" in his second set of lecture notesreleased in early 1970. The trick, rewritten, also appeared in the May, 1970 issue of //[[http://askalexander.org/display/36914/Genii/16|Genii]]//. Jon Racherbaumer, in his trick "Almost Making It" in //The Hierophant//, No. 4, June1970, p. 213, mentions the Jennings article in the May, //Genii//, and makes no claim for Marlo concerning this application of the Erdnase breakaside from noting that Jennings holds the break with the right third finger, and that Marlo prefers to use the fourth finger. Richard Kaufman credits Vernon with the idea. Since Richard was close to Larryit is likely he found out from him that the idea came from the Professor.+This idea for the [[cards:veeser_concept|Veeser Concept]] first appeared in print in Larry Jennings's "Look an Illusion" in //Lecture Notes//, 1970. The trick, rewritten, also appeared in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/36914/Genii/16|Genii]]//, Vol. 34 No. 9, May 1970, p. 400. Technically, Jennings used a third-finger Vernase (or Verdnase) break for the task. The Vernase break is a variation on one explained by S. W. Erdnase, created by Dai Vernon. Jon Racherbaumer, in his trick "Almost Making It" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/11213/Hierophant+ebook/346|The Hierophant]]//, No. 4, June 1970, p. 213, mentions the Jennings article in the May, //Genii//, ibid.but describes the break as held by the fourth finger, which is as Vernon did it. (Jennings learned the break from Vernon, but used his third finger due to the large size of his hands.
