5. Find the output card. Look at the top card. Convert it into a number from 1 through 53, in the same manner as above. Count down that many cards. (Count the top card as number one.) Write the card after the one you counted to on a piece of paper. (If you hit a joker, don’t write anything down and start over again with step 1.) This is the first output card. Note that this step does not modify the state of the deck.
