In Roberto Giobbi's Card College Vol. 1 is given the following credit:"See The Royal Road to Card Magic, page 191".
However, on page 191"The Reverses" I see no Braue Addition.
Perhaps on page 114 in "Gathering of the Clan"? But how can I link the move to Braue and not Hugard.
Is there a better reference for the move?

Jacky,
It is very kind of you to give me some source for the move but I know the move.
I try to track the first appearance of the move in magic literature.
Note that on page 174 of ECT is discussed "Secret addition of cards to the pack" and not the Braue Addition.

Phillippe,

Although I don't have a page number, I believe the earliest reference is in Hugard's Magic Monthly, where it is called the 'Secret Addition.'

Perhaps someone here can provide a page number?

Anthony,

Thanks for helping out. Any way you could look and see if a date is attached to that issue?

I don't have HMM or I'd check myself.
