 ====== Vanishing Wand Using Paper Shell ======
-Theo Bamberg is said to have invented this in 1888, as a boy of twelve, initially as a gag, but then as a serious effect later. (This anecdote may be in //Okito on Magic//.) However, the earliest published description of the trick seems to be "The Bewitched Wand" in W. H. J. Shaw's //Magic and Its Mysteries// (1893).
+Theo Bamberg claims to have invented this in 1891 by accident; see //[[http://askalexander.org/display/37767/Linking+Ring/17|The Linking Ring]]//, Vol. 27 No. 9, Nov. 1947, p. 17. However, the earliest published description of the trick seems to be "The Vanishing Wand" in the anonymous //The Boy's Book of Magic//, 1883, p. 189. Another source that predates Bamberg's claim is "The Bewitched Wand" in W. H. J. Shaw's //Magic and Its Mysteries//, 1893, p. 7.
