y With Cards

catch a glimpse Of the topmost
card and in dividing the pack into
quarters, see to it that the card
you know is on top of the last
pile.
Your next step is to call for
that particular card and you are
given the card on top of the first
pile. This is not the card you
called for, a fact overlooked by
your audience. For example. sup
pose that the ten of hearts is the
top card of the last pile. That is
the card you ask for, but you are
given the five Of spades. Accord
ingly, you call for the latter card.
The next card may be the jack Of
clubs or some other card. No
matter what it is you ask for it.
The result of this trick is that for
the fourth card you get the one
you first named, thus completing
the set of named cards.
