Draft cross-references for Gambling Slight of Hand by Steve Forte, chapter 4

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.

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.

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.

Page 284 fast Charlier
The Charlier pass is described on page 9 of More Magic (1890) by Professor Hoffmann.
