My name should not be attached to "King Monte."

The background on the trick is that in the 1980s, Ton Onosaka came up with a brilliant redesign on the wooden cards that were, I believe, first developed by S. S. Henry. Ton marketed his version as "Giant Monte," for which I wrote the English instructions. Some years later, Dave Powell started manufacturing the trick, using Ton's design without permission. That was eventually sorted out (mostly due to Ton being very nice about it). But, I had -- and have -- no direct connection to the Powell cards.

The design of the trick card itself is Theodore DeLand's "Wonder Change" from 1909 or so. When you make it with heavier materials, such as wood, you discover (as someone did) that the center section will slide on its own if you turn the card over instead of having to push it with your thumb or finger.

And Max's remark about Dave Powell reminds of when I found Claude Klingsor selling copies of Ton Onosaka's set of Diminishing Cards, with both the instruction sheet AND the designs of the cards copied without permission directly from Ton's original.
