A Card Trick

A SIMPLE but ~mystifying card
a trick which every amateur
magician will be glad to add to
his stock in trade Is performed
in this manner:
The coniurer shows his audi
ence an ordinary deck Of playing
cards. He asks someone to select
a card and return it to the pack.
Of course. the magician does not
see what card ID selected. Next
the conjurer places the deck be-
hind his back while he finds the
chosen card. AS soon as he does
SO he shows the deck 70 the audi
ence with the selected card face
up or reversed. Here Is the secret
of the trick
Before beginning the trick the
magician reverses the bottom
card. Then he asks someone to
choose a card, taking care not to
expose the bottom card in its
reversed position. While the Sc
lected card il being shown to
the audience SO it can be identi-
fed the conjurer turns away so
that he cannot see it. This is
really done to give the magician
a chance TO turn the pack bot
tom up so that the reversed
bottom card appears to be the top
Of the deck Then be holds the
deck squared while some men,
Der Of the audience inserts the
selected card anywhere in the
pack he may desire. but face
down.
The eonjurer now puts the
cards behind his back and an.
nounces that he will find the
chosen card and reverse il. What
he really does, however, Is to
turn the bottom card over, max
ing it face the same way as the
rest of the cards. Upon turning
the pack over the selected card
naturally is reversed and appears
face up when the magician shows
the deck to the audience.
