What's this vanish called?

From the little bit I know of this vanish, it is a Fred Kaps variation to a classic false transfer (the tossing/throwing motion being what he added).

I believe the root sleight of this is taught in Bobo's but I don't have a copy handy.

Hope that helps,

This can really be called whatever you want. It is in print in different ways in so many places. I've seen it as the drop vanish, french drop (of the many, not just the one), and the dropping action described by Goshman for his awesome retention of vision vanish. It's on eof the nicer ones though
