 An early description of this trick, using the standard metal slide, appears in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/17903/The+Magician+s+Own+Book+or+The+Whole+Art+of+Conjuring/44|The Magicians' Own Book]]//, Anon., 1857, also published as //The Boy's Own Conjuring Book//, Anon., 1859. See p. 33 of the former.
+A close relative of this effect is that of a coin appearing in a nest of boxes. This appeared in W. Hooper's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/12809/Hooper+Rational+Recreations+Second+Ed+Vol+4+1782/257|Rational Recreations Volume 4]]//, 1774, p. 288. The method given by Hooper does not use the metal slide, but this aid was adopted at some later time for this trick.
