PINkED THE TEN SPOT.
A Trick at Cards That Puzzled Those
Who MItneaaed It.

Il saw n man do a trick with cards
once" said Godfrey Ashton Of Atlanta,
(which. although he assured me was
wholly a trick and that there was no
second sight or mind reading connect
ed with 1t, has always rested in an
unexplained condition In my mind.
"There were four Of us at supper,
and the man In question sent for a
pack Of cards, and, handing them TO
the man next him, told him to select
card in his mind; not TO take 1t from
the pack. but to tell the other two
men what card 1t was. He was then to
shuttle the pack and pass it TO the
other two men, who were each to
thoroughly shuttle It. The last man
was then % place 1t on the floor.
"ln the meantime a large napkin
had been tightly bound over the magi-
clans eyes and his dress coat hung over
his face with the tails tied under his
chin. so that his head was to all in
tents and purposes in a bag. He. by
his direction. was led to the pack Of
cards and his hand placed upon IT, He
then proceeded TO scatter the cards
about until they covered a rough cir
Gle Of three or four feet in diameter.
He called for a knife, and. bringing it
sharply down, drove it through and
affixed one Of the scattered cards. Re
moving his headgear, he asked what
card my friend had chosen. The an
swer being the ten of diamonds. he
turned the knife toward us. and there,
sure enough, was the ten Of diamonds
transilxed upon the point.
"He swore It was n trick. but for
the life of me l cannot see how it was
done. None Of us was in collusion with
him. am sure the cards were not a
fake pack, and / am equally certain
that he was so blindfolded that il was
wholly impossible for him 10 see. Yet
he accomplished it exactly as 1 tel
