Marlo's Slip Cut?

[Sean-Dylan]

Can anyone tell me where I can find a description of Marlo's Slip Cut? I am reading a routine (in Marlo Without Tears) and it references this move without a description.

[Jim Maloney]

There's a few references to Marlo and Slip Cuts over at Denis Behr's site.

There's one in particular for a tabled, multiple card slip cut that's in Marlo Without Tears. I don't know if this is what's being referred to, though.

this one is an in the hands slip cut with the bottom of the deck facing the spectators. I'll check the site you suggested.

See The Patented Shuffle (1966) Section Two - The Slip Cut.

A couple more references that include the Marlo Slip Cut:

"Slippage" section in the book Marlo on Erdnase (2007)compiled by Jon Racherbaumer

and the ebook Edward Marlo's The Definitive Slip Cut (2007) by Jon Racherbaumer

[Richard Kaufman]

The Slip Cut was invented by T. Nelson Downs and established in private correspondance. Marlo claimed to have invented the Slip Cut, to which I say "baloney."

[Philippe Billot]

Please, do you know in which book(s) or magazine(s) Downs' private correspondance have been published ?

[Richard Kaufman]

Can't recall. It's a single paragraph in a letter. There's a lot of Downs' correspondance in private collections.

[Denis Behr]

It's a single paragraph in a letter.

And that's enough to call it "established in private correspondance" ?!

What slip cut are we talking about? Aren't tabled slip cuts coming from the gambling table? (There's one in Erdnase after all.)

[Richard Kaufman]

Talking about doing a Slip Cut in the hands.

Many of Hofzinser's ideas were established in private correspondance that has yet to be published.

[Nathan Muir]

This reminds me of Jerry Sadowitz claiming credit for the gambler's double deal.

Hey, if those gambler's weren't smart enough to establish credit, that's their problem.

[Jonathan Townsend]

The Slip Cut was invented by T. Nelson Downs and established in private correspondance. ...

He claimed invention or usage? Mutatis mutandis and all that.
