Lesson Notes

For more information on the history of what was covered in this


lesson, you can check out the following references:

● Sid Lorraine’s Slop Shuffle was first published in John Braun


and Stewart Judah’s book Subtle Problems You Will Do, 1937.
● The dribble in-jog control is based on “The ‘Slap’ Location”
from Greater Magic, 1938, in which the whole upper half is
dropped at an angle, creating an in-jog. Replacing the drop
with a dribble didn’t seem to become popular until the 1970s to
80s.
● While there are precursors with a tabled cut (Erdnase, 1902)
and jogs (Charles Jordan, 1922), the first in-the-hands
versions of the double undercut using a break were published in
1946 in two places: by Arthur Buckley in his book Card Control
and by Dai Vernon in the “Cutting the Aces” issue of the Stars
of Magic series.
