It is described in a letter to John Northern Hilliard dated January 21, 1933, where it described as being a one card version of the Houdini-Elliot Shift. It was originally used to control a selection to the top of the deck. In the same year (1933), a very similar move appeared in print in a book entitled, Tricks for the Few pgs. 8-9 under the title, “Passing up the Pass”. Steranko was the first to publish the move as more than just a control. His applications and ideas were published under the title of, “Shadow Steal” in his book, Steranko on Cards (1960). The mechanics of this sleight are also found in “The Rooklyn Top Palm” which can be found on pg. 161 of Dai Vernon’s Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic. Ray Kosby also independently invented the move along with others such as Oliver Macia and Daniel Garcia. Ray Kosby published “The Coffin Change” on pg. 45 of Spectacle by Stephen Minch in 1990. Oliver Macia’s independent invention is called the “Wow Control” and can be found on his DVD entitled, Control Freak. Daniel Garcia’s handling is named the “Ego Change” and can be found of The Daniel Garcia Project, Volume 1. Keep an eye our for Dorian's new DVD, available next month."
