you mean credit of half pass is unknown, right?

Yes, though if you wish to credit anyone, credit Henri Decremps.. or the person who came up with the variation closest to the 'Half Pass' you perform.

I was heard yesterday from one of my friends that pinky count usually credited to Steranko On Cards by Jim Steranko. So, which is correct?

Hofzinser died before Steranko was born, and was known to use the 'Pinky Count'. I figured Steranko indeed is credited by some but I bet you that it is older than him (and likely older than Hofzinser too as said).

You mean vanishing deck is always credited to Rob Bromley not to Jorker Magic below, right?

Indeed, this particular type of deck vanish is Bromley's. It seems like Joker Magic just made a sturdier, longer-lasting version of it.

No problem. And glad you like the forum though we are barely active these days (but that should change fairly soon).
