See page 100 of Expert Card Technique (1940) by Jean Hugard and Fred Braue.
See page 33 of of Card Control (1946) by Arthur Buckley.
See page 212 of Phantoms of the Card Table (2003) by David Britland and Gazzo for an unusual cover ("sniff peek") where the peek is performed while rubbing your nose with the hand holding the deck.
See page 87 of Casino Game Protection (2004) by Steve Forte.
See page 135 of Poker Protection (2006) by Steve Forte.
For left-handed dealers, the card can be pulled towards the thumb, much like the action depicted in photo 394 on page 379.
This action is described on page 385 Scarne's New Complete Guide to Gambling (1974) by John Scarne and illustrated on page 17 of Dealing With Cheats (1973) by A. D. Livingston.
Another approach for left-handed dealers is to lift the outer right corner of the top card with the right thumb.
This action is described on page 121 of Magic Without Apparatus (1945) by Camille Gaultier (described as a right-handed peek for a deck with four indices on the cards) and illustrated on page 68 of The Modern Conjurer (1902) by C. Lang Neil.

Page 484 chop-peek
Performing a bottom slip on the last throw to the bottom of a chop shuffle can be used to retain a single card on the bottom. This is demonstrated in the Gambling Protection Series DVDs volume 1 (1984).

Page 485 overhand shuffle and off-the-table riffle peeks
See the photographs facing page 20 in Gamblers Don't Gamble (1939) by Michael MacDougall as told to J. C. Furnas, where the action for performing a bottom peek during the split for an off the table riffle shuffle is described as part of a cull.
See also page 39 of Card mastery (1944) by Michael MacDougall.
See page 145 of The Complete Illustrated Book of Card Magic (1969) by Walter Gibson.

Page 487 Paper
Based on the written record, keeping in mind its fallibility and Steve Forte's warning on page 47, marked cards appear to literally be the oldest trick in the book.
Page 120 of Puzzlers' Tribute A Feast for the Mind (2002) edited by David Wolfe and Tom Rodgers (chapter by William Kalush) states that the earliest discovered record of deception with playing cards dates to 1408 France, and describes a confidence game related to Three Card Monte involving a marked card.

Page 490 Humps
Both humps and points are described on page 31 of Master Key and Run-Up Systems. This pamphlet reprints two older pamphlets, and states that Master Key Systems was listed in the 1951 K. C. Catalog.

Page 490 "Besides, why bore you with a chemistry essay."
I have found almost no information about chemicals used for marking cards. Here are the very few sources I have discovered. I have no idea how safe or effective the formulas described may be.

Page 33 of A Manifest Detection of the Most Vyle and Detestable Use of Dice Play (1552) by Gilbert Walker states "some play upon the prick; some pinch the cards privily with their nails; some turn up the corners; some mark them with fine spots of ink." Because the rest of the sentence refers to marking cards, "play upon the prick" is often believed to refer to punch work.

Cross-references for Gambling Sleight of Hand, chapter 4

Here are my attempts at creating a list of cross-references for Gambling Sleight of Hand, chapter 4. Steve Forte has very kindly given me permission to share this online. I am sure it is far from complete, but I hope some other students and historians may find it useful.

Enjoy,

Draft cross-references for Gambling Slight of Hand by Steve Forte, chapter 4
Compiled by Andru Luvisi, 2020

Page 279 Introduction
Replacing the cut as it was before dates back at least to page 165 of The Sharper Detected and Exposed (1863) by Jean-Eugene Robert-Houdin.
https://archive.org/details/sharperdetectede00robe
See page 62 of How to Spot Card Sharps and their Methods (1957) by Sidney H. Radner (Walter Gibson) for an interesting presentation angle on this idea. The idea is to alternate between two fair ways of picking up the packets. One is to pick up the lower packet, set it on the upper packet, and place both in the left-hand. The other is to pick up the upper packet, place it in the left-hand, pick up the lower packet, and place it on top of the upper packet in the left-hand. The crooked procedure is a cross between these two fair procedures.
See page 99 of Poker Protection (2006) by Steve Forte.
This is demonstrated in the Gambling Protection Series DVDs volume 1 (1984) as "The Stall."

Page 280 Classic Shift
See https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/category/1350 for a long list of references.
Magicians typically perform the classic pass standing.
A modern trend among magicians of performing the classic pass at the fingertips with the top of the deck exposed, and attempting to hide the action with great speed, to the best of my knowledge, was popularized by Ken Krenzel, Derek Dingle, and Richard Kaufman.
See page 197 of The Card Classics of Ken Krenzel (1978) by Harry Lorayne.
See page 56 of The Complete Works of Derek Dingle (1982) by Richard Kaufman.
See the On The Pass DVD (1989) by Richard Kaufman.
An older tradition involves hiding the action behind the hands, possibly involving a rocking motion. Here are some of my personal favorite descriptions.
See "Two-Handed Pass in Invisible Form" by L. Cohen in the September 1905 issue of Mahatma.
See The Thompson Pass (1981) published by Ray Goulet.
See "Peek Pass" on page 6 of The Jiggle Pass and Variations (1946) By Bob Taylor and Neal Elias.
See "Peek Pass" in the July 1973 issue of Epilogue.
See the DVD Hacking The Pass by Steven Youell.
An early mention of covering the pass by riffling the cards can be found on page 25 of Crambrook's Catalogue of Magical Curiosities and Deceptions (1843) by W. H. M. Crambrook.

Page 282 one-handed get-ready
A good discussion of this approach can be found on page 35 of The Modern Conjurer (1902) by C. Lang Neil.
https://archive.org/details/modernconjurerdr00neil

Page 283 fast Herrmann
An early description of the Herrmann pass can be found on page 10 of New Era Card Tricks (1897) by August Roterberg.
https://archive.org/details/neweracardtrick00roterich
This action was described as a one-handed pass on page 97 of Testament de Jérôme Sharp (1786) by Henri Decremps. The book is written in French, but the illustrations for this move are easy to follow even if you do not speak French.
https://www.loc.gov/item/33008603/

Page 284 fast Charlier
The Charlier pass is described on page 9 of More Magic (1890) by Professor Hoffmann.
https://archive.org/details/McGillLibrary-103136-175
Marlo offers some approaches to hiding this move on page 136 of The Heirophant volume 3 (1976).

Page 286 Herrmann Pass and overhand shuffle
See "Three New Passes" by Hal Merton in the August 1901 issue of Mahatma.
See page 17 of of Farelli's Card Magic (1935?) for some clever variations.

Page 299 Belly-shift
"A Gambler's Move" from page 95 of Card Manipulations (1934-1936) by Jean Hugard uses a similar action under cover of, and against, the right forearm.

Page 301 Mexican Joe
The original, less well covered action is described on page 123 of Dai Vernon's Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic (1968) by Lewis Ganson.

Page 303 cut-card shifts

The second method is demonstrated on the Gambling Protection Series DVDs volume 3 (1986).
The third method is demonstrated on the Gambling Protection Series DVDs volume 3 (1986) and described on page 73 of Casino Game Protection (2004) by Steve Forte. An early, less covered application of this principle can be found on page 179 of The Stealing Machine (1906) by Eugene Villiod.

Page 305 Open Shifts
This move is demonstrated in move #16 in the 52 video on the Gambling Protection Series DVDs (2009).

Some magicians believe that the description of "Bathroom Strippers" on page 70 of Dai Vernon's Inner Secrets of Card Magic (1959) by Lewis Ganson was based on a technique for creating n-strippers.
See the Richard Turner DVD Double-Signed Card Routine (2004) for instructions on how to create n-stripper cards and how to pull them out of the deck, under the name "Turner Key Card."
See page 424 of Casino Game Protection (2004) by Steve Forte.
See page 74 of Poker Protection (2006) by Steve Forte.
See page 32 of Confessions of a Crossroad Gambler (2008) by Gentlemen Jack Newton for a story about n-strippers being used in 1962. The technique for pulling them out of the deck is not described, and they are just called "strippers," but from the description of how they are made and applied in a game it is clear that the author is discussing n-strippers.

This is demonstrated in the John Scarne video Cheating in Gambling (1949) – This video used to be available online, but I cannot find a complete copy currently available.

Page 77 never let go
The earliest mention I have found of this principle is on page 22 of Poker by Hardison (1914) by Theo Hardison. This is a variation on the Gamblers' Cut where the 3rd packet is cut by the left-hand.

Page 77 Gamblers' Cut
This is demonstrated in the John Scarne video Cheating in Gambling (1949).
See page 22 of Poker by Hardison (1914) by Theo Hardison.
See page 98 of Hugard's Magic Monthly volume 19 number 9, May 1962.
This is demonstrated in the old film set At The Poker Table, using a step instead of a break.
https://archive.org/details/at.the.poker.table
It is also demonstrated byJohn Scarne in the movie The Sting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVCjSstPvXI
See the Gambling Protection Series DVDs volume 1 (1984).
In The Cheat DVD (1990), Richard Turner illustrates this move in the "Eight of Clubs" false cut.
See page 104 of Poker Protection (2006) by Steve Forte.

Page 79 cutting direction
As mentioned above, page 22 of Poker by Hardison (1914) by Theo Hardison describes a variation where the 3rd cut is made by the left-hand.
In The Cheat DVD (1990), Richard Turner illustrates this move performed with alternating hands in the "Ace of Clubs" false cut.
Several older magic books contain a crude version of this cut, with alternating hands, where the separations are maintained at the front of the deck.
See page 16 of Blackstone's Modern Card Tricks (1932) by Harry Blackstone (Walter Gibson), page page 11 of Blackstone's Modern Card Tricks and Secrets of Magic (1941) by Harry Blackstone (Walter Gibson), page 39 of Blackstone's Tricks Anyone Can Do (1948) by Harry Blackstone (Walter Gibson), page 44 of The Complete Illustrated Book of Card Magic (1969) by Walter Gibson, page 180 of Greater Magic (1938) by John Northern Hilliard, page 258 of The Tarbell Course in Magic volume 1 (1941), and page 34 of Now You See It, Now You Don't! (1976) by Bill Tarr.
See page 552 of Scarne's Complete Guide to Gambling (1961) by John Scarne for a version of the 'circle,' 'loop,' or 'round-n-round' where cuts are made with alternating hands.
See page 652 of Scarne's New Complete Guide to Gambling (1974) by John Scarne for a version of the 'circle,' 'loop,' or 'round-n-round' where cuts are made with alternating hands.

Page 80 Up The Ladder
The earliest description resembling this move I am aware of is on page 13 of Poker to Win (1931) by Al Smith.
On page 63 of The Annotated Erdnase (1991), Darwin Ortiz writes "This card hustling move, which was introduced to the magic fraternity by Charlie Miller, may not have existed in Erdnase's time." Charlie Miller wrote an introduction for the Gambler's Book Club reprint of Poker to Win, in which he described meeting Al Smith in 1931 and referred to him as "a personal and valued friend." Is it possible that Charlie Miller learned this move from Al Smith?

Page 82 no stepped packets
The description on page 13 of Poker to Win (1931) by Al Smith uses breaks instead of steps, but it is less developed and the separations are held at the front side of the deck.

Page 83 carrying half decks with UTL
This procedure seems to carry the entire deck.

Page 83 CTB Cut/Strip
See page 176 of Effective Card Magic (1952) by Bill Simon for a false cut that retains both a top and bottom stock and bears some conceptual resemblance to a CTB that starts with a double undercut.
A peculiar variation of this cut with a single card "top" is described by Harry Lorayne as "Gambler's False Cut" on page 8 of Hugard's Magic Monthly volume 16 number 1, June 1958 and demonstrated in Gambling U.S.A. (1959).
https://archive.org/details/0763_Gambling_U_S_A_02_45_51_24
The CTB is demonstrated in the old film set At The Poker Table.
https://archive.org/details/at.the.poker.table
Jay Ose demonstrates this cut, using a step, in the video The Cincinnati Kid Plays According to Hoyle (1965)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KQiuvX1xKI
See page 46 of Rim Shots (1973) by Harry Lorayne for a variation where a small packet from the bottom stays on the table the whole time, to facilitate performing the cut on a smooth surface.
See page 59 of Ever So Sleightly (1975) by Stephen Minch for a variation where the left-hand performs the first undercut.

See the Gambling Protection Series DVDs volume 1 (1984) and page 69 of Poker Protection (2006) by Steve Forte.
In The Cheat DVD (1990), Richard Turner demonstrates a variant of this move where the right thumb lifts up on the jog to get the break in the "9 of Clubs" false cut.
See page 69 of Expert Card Technique (1940) by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue for an example of a jog used during an in the hands strip cut.
