Sandwich tricks are a broad category of card magic where a card or a number of cards are captured between some known cards.
First described in The Magic Wand, Vol. 7, N° 77, january 1917 by Louis Christianer under the title The Obedient Card, page 78.
For multiple card variations see Collectors.
A variation is called Progressive Sandwich (also known as Searcher) in which the locator cards in the deck continue to get closer and closer to the selection until eventually it's trapped between just those two cards.
