 ====== Downs Palm ======
-Apparently a misnomer, for while Downs claimed this sleight in //The Art of Magic// (1909, p. 233), it is recorded as that of L'Homme Masqué, with whom Downs was friendly. See Gaultier's //Magic Without Apparatus//, 1914, pp. [[http://askalexander.org/display/20099/Magic+Without+Apparatus/278|258]] and [[http://askalexander.org/display/20099/Magic+Without+Apparatus/346|326]], where Gaultier disputes Downs's claim and writes that L'Homme Masqué had been using the sleight for many years.

+This palm was described in print two years before Downs published it, by Robert Madison, in //[[https://askalexander.org/display/38524/The%20Sphinx/3|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 6 No. 5, July 1907, p. 55. Madison speculated that the palm position was Downs's, but that Downs used it only for the production of a fan of coins. Madison offers a method he had devised for producing the coins one by one. Unfortunately, when Downs published his description, it included the identical method for producing single coins, one after another.
