Carlyle False Turnover

Carlyle False Turnover (also been referred to as "Vernon/Carlyle All Backs Move" and the Carlyle Paddle Move) is a card sleight in which a card is apparently turned over, but in reality the same side is shown twice (i.e the Paddle Move with cards).

A history of the move is in SUBTLE CARD CREATIONS VOLUME 1 by Nick Trost.

Using a business card, this move appeared in "The Mystic Star" by Douglas Dexter in Will Goldston's Great Magicians' Tricks (1931).

The move done with a pocket mirror, with no author given, was in "The Card In The Mirror" in IRELAND'S YEARBOOK (1942).

It first appeared under Carlyle's name within "Carlyle's Card" in The Phoenix, No. 48 (Nov. 19, 1943).

Vernon used the move in his "All Backs" routine in Hugard's Magic Monthly June 1949.
