I have come to find out that the simple transposition is (heavily) based on the Gemini Count. This is a Bro. John Hammon sleight and was published in Richard's Almanac in 1983. Look for it on page 125, or thereabouts.
The publication gives an in-depth explanation of the Gemini Count and its four phases. The count is pretty spiffy, but I will say that kicking the top card up and diagonally to the left hasn't really been necessary for me. All I've needed is the buckle on the bottom and then my right thumb and middle finger pull out the one in the middle.
Bro. Hammon's The Signed Card, as written up in the Almanac, is the next big work. It reads great and the irony of "I won't touch that card again" is right up my alley. I find it very easy to work along those kinds of lines.
