Ananym
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
An ananym is a word whose spelling is derived by reversing the spelling of another word. It is therefore a special type of anagram. There is a long history of magicians deriving their stage names or names of sleights by using ananyms.[1]
