-This idea dates back at least to the late nineteenth century. It is listed in a Hamley Brothers catalog about that time. Professor Hoffmann described it in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/19034/Later+Magic/51|Later Magic]]//, 1904, p. 27. He also attributed the first practical vest servante to David Devant on page 25. In conversation, Eddie Fields told Stephen Minch that Audley Walsh developed a body servante for close-up work in the 1930s. And Fred C. Baumann published details on a similar servante made for coin work in his //Odyssey of Classic Coin Sleights//, 1983, p. 52. The Hamley Brothers servante was larger than the close-up and coin servantes developed later by Walsh and Baumann.+This idea dates back at least to the late nineteenth century.
