ATFUS
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
ATFUS, "Anytime Face-Up Switch", was a card sleight coined by Ed Marlo and published in the April 1964 issue of New Tops which switches out some cards from a small packet of face-up cards, leaving them with the remainder of the deck, while only appearing to display them.
In 1956, Alex Elmsley published an effect in the Pentagram called "Still Taking Three" that contained the concept of this sleight (although not given a name).
