+====== Coin Shell with Half Rim Removed---Slippery Sam Gimmick ======
-While commonly attributed to Steve Dusheck, Edward Bagshawe published the idea in "Transmutation Extraordinary", //[[http://askalexander.org/display/18031/The+Le+Walke+Mysteries/31|The Le Walke Mysteries]]//, 1927, p. 31.
+Created by Steve Dusheck, who marketed a trick using it called "Slippery Sam" in the early 1970s.
+A related, early relative was conceived by George Le Walke. This was described by Edward Bagshawe in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/18031/The+Le+Walke+Mysteries/31|The Le Walke Mysteries]]//, 1921, p. 31. Le Walke's gimmicked coin consisted of a coin shell with half of its rim removed and a second full side of a thinned-down matching coin attached to make a hollow coin, open at one edge. This coin could be displayed on both sides while concealing another coin inside it.
