Can't remember the name of this trick???

I read about a card trick a long time ago in Genie Magazine in which a card is "selected" by the spectator (forced the 3 of hearts for example).
Then the deck is shown to be a "marked" deck. However, it is different in that the "marks" are on the side. Through a series of cuts and mixes the cards line-up to form a name 4 times on the side of the deck, then cut/mix again to show the same name, but now larger and only twice on the deck. Then again and now it's on the entire side of the deck. The deck is spun around and the name of the card is on the other side.
Now, what was the name of that trick? And what year/issue was it (I think it was in the 70s or maybe 80s)? I've been hitting my stacks for it when I remembered the effect, and I just can't seem to find it. :confused:
