-Apparently invented in China and introduced to the West by Chinese magicians. The first English description of it seems to be by Edwin Sachs in his //[[http://askalexander.org/display/67763/Sleight+of+Hand+Being+Minute+Instructions+by+the+Aid+of+Which+With+Proper+Practice+the+Neatest+and+Most+Intricate+Tricks+of+Legerdemain+can+be+Successfully+Performed/45-47|Sleight of Hand]]//, 1877; see "The Chinese Marble Trick". Marlo came up with the first handling for coins in his June 1957 //[[http://askalexander.org/display/37787/Linking+Ring/85|Linking Ring]]// Parade (Vol. 37 No. 4). See p. 85. He also gives handlings for balls in the same issue, p. 75, including the Double Pop-up (p. 82), although there is evidence that Oscar Pladick preceded him on this sleight. In Marlo's coin handling, the right hand finger palms the coin. In the mid-1970s, Al Schneider reinvented the move, but used a classic palm. (See Schneider's account in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/37335/Genii/27|Genii]]//, Dec. 2004, Vol. 67 No. 12, p. 27.)+Apparently invented in China.

 +In 1936, Laurie Ireland published a variant with sponge balls that capitalized on their ability to compress and expand. See "Ireland's Method of the Three Sponge Ball Trick" in //Ireland's 1936 Year Book//, p. 12 (reprinted in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/18909/The+Year+Book+Reader/53|The Year Book Reader]]//, p. 51).

 +Edward Marlo came up with the first handling for coins; see his June 1957 //[[http://askalexander.org/display/37787/Linking+Ring/85|Linking Ring]]// Parade, Vol. 37 No. 4, p. 85.

 +Marlo, in his June 1957 Parade, also gives handlings using balls, p. 75, including the Double Roll-up (p. 82). His handling of the Pop-up was developed in 1950 and scantly described in notes provided for a 1951 lecture. These notes were eventually republished in 1965 as //[[http://askalexander.org/display/14174/Ed+Marlo+s+Lecture+Notes/9|Ed Marlo's Lecture Notes]]//. See p. 9, steps 4-6. There has been some controversy on the these handlings. Oscar Pladek claimed to have preceded Marlo on both the single Pop-up handling and Double Roll-up, and to have showed him the moves in 1956. See //Pallbearers Review//, Vol. 8 No. 6, April 1973, p. 611; Vol. 8 No. 12, Oct. 1973, pp. 679 and 681; Vol. 9 No. 2, Dec. 1973, p. 695; Vol. 9 No. 6, Apr. 1974, pp. 726 and 730; Vol. 9 No. 9, July 1974, p. 757.
