When Louis Histed published his version of the trick that has become known by this name, he wrote, "I originally saw Chris Van Bern perform the Rod and Beads many years ago, about ten years before it came on the market in this country. It is reputed to be very ancient, but although I gave some thought to the problem I don't think I succeeded in discovering the principle. The method which I give here for achieving a similar effect was soon discovered. Later, I found that that prolific inventor Tom Sellers had been struck by exactly the same idea. Fairly recently I bought a bound volume of his collected works, and I find that he describes the effect almost exactly as set down here."
