Article: Almost any type of compact table or desk can be appropriated for this purpose, so explore several different options and go with one that looks the most natural in the space you're decorating. It's also worth putting some thought into any additional features you might want, like drawers, cabinets, or built-in lighting elements. The table you choose should be low enough to avoid looking out of place for it's intended use, but high enough to sit at comfortably. Extra storage space can be a major plus if you have a habit of stockpiling cosmetics or prefer to keep all of your beauty supplies in one place. Color is another important consideration when narrowing down your choices. To determine which style would look best in a given space, it's important to first take stock of what's already there. If possible, you'll want to find a table you can tie in with your walls, flooring, and surrounding furniture to create a seamless transition for the eye. A vibrant patterned table will make a bold statement in a muted setting, for instance, while neutral tones like black, white, gray, and natural wood finishes have the advantage of going with the greatest number of accessories. Forget the short, knobby powder room stools you're used to hunching over. Pull up a cushioned bench or chic high-backed chair and take a load off while you put your face on. One of these perches can make your dressing area much more comfortable, especially if you tend to spend a lot of time there. Bring in a chair with adjustable height settings if you're having trouble finding one that's the right height for your table. Chairs that roll or swivel can increase your mobility and lend a commanding air to vanities that double as letter desks. If your dressing table is going to be primarily a decorative fixture, look at a variety of styles to find a replacement that matches the sensibilities you're expressing. You could also trade in a large central mirror for several smaller ones to establish a busier look, or install an elaborate folding mirror that lets you view yourself from different angles. For a centerpiece that's truly one-of-a-kind, play around with mirrors fashioned from other objects, like a repurposed painting, oversized clock, or vintage window frame. If you're the crafty type, you could even try putting together one of your own. Keep in mind that the mirror you settle on should be the right shape and dimension to give you a good look at yourself from where you'll be sitting. Rather than relying on a single light shining off to the side, position one at either end of your vanity and switch them both on while you're putting on your makeup. Twin light sources provide illumination from both sides, which can keep you from ending up with uneven eye shadow or the wrong shade of foundation. Soft white bulbs tend to provide the best conditions for applying makeup. Fit your lamps with adjustable shades to cut down on glare. Overly intense lighting can also throw off your brush hand. A soft desk lamp centered above the table will also give off a modest yet revealing glow.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pick out a table that suits your needs. Include your table in a unifying color scheme. Substitute a cozy seating solution. Get creative with your main mirror. Utilize multiple lamps for consistent lighting.
Article: This trick involves a bit of preparation. It's easiest to start the trick with your bottom card facing the opposite direction as the rest of the deck. If you flipped your deck over, it would look the same. If you are skilled enough at sleight of hand, you can quickly flip the bottom card over after you shuffle the deck. One way to attempt to flip the bottom card after a shuffle is to finish shuffling with an overhand shuffle. Take the last card from your overhand shuffle and flip it back onto the bottom of the deck facing the opposite direction. You have to do this quickly so no one sees. Angle your hands so your audience won't see the bottom of the deck. With your bottom card facing the other direction, fan out the deck without showing the bottom card. Make sure to fan the cards out more in the middle of the deck. Angle the cards down slightly so your audience mostly sees the tops of the cards. Have your volunteer pick a card from somewhere in the deck. If you want, you can run your thumb along the outer edges of the fanned out cards and ask your volunteer to say "stop" at a certain point. When your spectator says "stop", you ask your spectator to take the card your thumb is on. This gives you a little bit more control so you ensure your spectator doesn't pick your upside down card. Ask your spectator to memorize the card and show it to the rest of audience. As soon as your spectator takes a card, you want to re-stack the deck. While your audience is distracted by the card, flip your deck over so the bottom is now the top. During this moment, discretely flip your deck. To help you do this unseen, you can lower the deck a bit. Also, cover the front of it with one hand while you turn it over so your audience doesn't see what you're doing. Your deck will now be upside but look normal to your audience. Be careful to keep the deck stacked here so that your audience doesn't notice that your deck is flipped. Explain that you are tapping the deck to trigger its magical properties. This will help with the illusion as you prepare to flip the deck. Then explain that you will cause the spectator's card to magically flip over in the deck. Begin shaking the deck, and while you do, flip the deck back over. This part can be a little tricky as your audience will be focused on the deck. The purpose of shaking the deck as you explain what you are doing is to distract your audience while you quickly flip the deck back over. All of the cards will now be facing the right way except for the bottom card, and the spectator's. Be careful not to show your audience the bottom card. Remove your spectator's card from the deck and ask the audience to inspect it. You can even have your spectator hold it. While this is happening, if you want, quickly flip the bottom card back over.
