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.
