-NOTEA MORE DETAILED HISTORY WILL APPEAR IN GEBICIERE IN THE LATTER PART OF 2014WHAT'S BELOW IS NOT ACCURATE-- MAX+While often credited to Will de Seive (William H. Wilson), de Seive's release of the trick was preceded by Joseph J. Kolar, who marketed it through Floyd Thayer, under the title of "The Kolar Magic Shears". Thayer first advertised it in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/40673/Linking+Ring/71|The Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 9 No. 1, Mar. 1929, p. 69, and in the same month in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38568/The+Sphinx/4|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 28 No. 1, p. 4; and //[[http://askalexander.org/display/917/Billboard+select+articles+about+magic/333|The Billboard]]//, p. 46Will de Seive didn't market the trick until November 1937, then giving it the name "Clippo".
  
-While often credited to Will de Seive (Bill Wilson), Harlan Tarbell gives the full genesis in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/23004/The+Tarbell+Course+in+Magic+Volume+V/277|The Tarbell Course in Magic, Vol. 5]]//, p. 275. He had discovered the principleusing cloth strips and, showing it one day to Joseph Kolar, found that he had also discovered it, but with paperwhich worked better. Kolar later marketed the trick with red paper strips, calling it "The Kolar Magic Shears." It was released by Floyd Thayer, who first advertised it in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/40673/Linking+Ring/71|The Linking Ring]]//, Vol. No. 1, Mar. 1929, p. 69and the same month in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/917/Billboard+select+articles+about+magic/333|The Billboard]]//, Mar. 1929, p. 46.+Harlan Tarbell gives a misleading genesis of the trick in //[[http://askalexander.org/display/23004/The+Tarbell+Course+in+Magic+Volume+V/277|The Tarbell Course in Magic, Vol. 5]]//, 1948, p. 275. There Tarbell claims independent invention of the trickalong with Kolar, but twenty years earlierin the December 1927 issue of //[[http://askalexander.org/display/38313/The+Sphinx/5|The Sphinx]]//, Vol. 26 No. 10, p. 349he clearly gave credit for the trick to Kolar.
  
-Tarbell came up with the idea of using newspaper columns for it, which he showed to Frakson (José Jiminez Seville), who took the idea back to Europe. A little while later, de Seive marketed it as "Clippo," 1937.+Tarbell writes that he showed the trick to Frakson (José Jiminez Seville), who took the idea back to Europe. This may have been the conduit through which Hans Katzenstein learned of it. He contributed his version, "Das Verhexte Papier", to //Magie// in 1934, p. 151, using his stage name, Hakamü as the byline. The presentation involves a spectator in a Do-as-I-Do challenge as paper strips are cut and restored. In Germany, "Clippo" is still known as "Hakamü". This was seven years after the Thayer release of "The Kolar Magic Shears." Katzenstein immigrated to the U.S. from München in 1937 to avoid Nazi persecution, and changed his name to Howard B. Kayton. He gave his routine for "Clippo", calling it "The Bewitched Paper", to J. G. Thompson Jr. for Thompson's //[[http://askalexander.org/display/24789/My+Best/253|My Best]]//, 1945, p. 251.
  
-Howard B. Kayton released "The Bewitched Paper" in J.G. Thompson Jr.'//[[http://askalexander.org/display/24789/My+Best/253|My Best]]//1945, p251. It is a Do-As-I-Do effect, using the Clippo principle. Kayton's original name was Hans Katzenstein. He immigrated to the U.S. from München in 1937 to avoid Nazi persecution. He contributed his "Das Verhexte Papier" to //Magie //, 1934, p. 151, under his stage name, HakamüIn Germany, "Clippo" is known as "Hakamü." However, this date is seven years after Tarbell and Kolar's claim, and five years after the release of "The Kolar Magic Shears."+Further details on the saga of "Clippoare given by Max Maven in the Summer 2014 issue of //Gibecière,// Vol9No2, p. 83.
