 ====== Spider Grip Vanish ======
-Usually thought to be Ed Marlo's concept, the idea was put into print far earlier by Walter B. Gibson, under the title "The 'Misdirection' Drop" in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38627/The+Sphinx/15|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 17 No. 12, Feb. 1919, p. 239. Richard Kaufman discovered this citation.
+Often misattributed to Ed Marlo, this vanish was first put into print by Walter B. Gibson, under the title The "Misdirection" Drop in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38627/The+Sphinx/15|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 17 No. 12, Feb. 1919, p. 239. John Moehring discovered this citation. The Gibson vanish is done from French Drop position, as the vanish is commonly done. Marlo's similar Spider Vanish (//[[http://askalexander.org/display/10995/Coining+Magic/9|Coining Magic]]//, 1957, p. 8) starts with the coin resting in finger-palm position, but uses the same misdirective psychology and actions of Gibson's vanish.
