Then\u003cbr\u003ehave someone draw any card from it, look at the card, and show it to\u003cbr\u003eeveryone but you; then he must put it at the bottom of the pack.\u003cbr\u003eWhile your back is turned, someone cuts the cards, placing the bottom\u003cbr\u003epart on top, so the card selected is somewhere-you do not know where-in the\u003cbr\u003emiddle of the deck.\u003cbr\u003eNow you take up the cards and, beginning at the top, deal them off, one\u003cbr\u003eby one, throwing them face-up on the table. And when you reach the one\u003cbr\u003eselected, you astonish your audience by saying, \"That is the card !\"\u003cbr\u003eHow did you know?\u003cbr\u003eYou knew the card that was on the bottom of the pack at the beginning,\u003cbr\u003ebecause, having \"eagle-bright eyes,\"you slyly looked at it when you finished\u003cbr\u003eshuffling and before you put the pack on the table. When the card you saw on\u003cbr\u003ethe bottom turned up as you dealt, you knew the very next card would be the\u003cbr\u003eone selected, for it was placed immediately below the one you saw.\u003cbr\u003eObey the Master\u003cbr\u003eIn this trick your friend will think you hypnotize him into drawing precisely\u003cbr\u003ethe three cards you tell him to draw.\u003cbr\u003eShuffle the pack, and lift a few cards off the top-the number does not\u003cbr\u003ematter, about fifteen or twenty-and lay the remainder of the pack aside, not\u003cbr\u003eto be used.\u003cbr\u003eAs you lift the cards, distract his attention so you can look quickly at the\u003cbr\u003ebottom card of those you lift off. Suppose it is the five of Hearts.\u003cbr\u003eSpread all your fifteen or twenty cards face-down on the table. Then say,\u003cbr\u003e\"Give me the Five of Hearts.\"He picks out any card from those spread on the\u003cbr\u003etable and, without looking at it (this is important!), hands it to you. You do\u003cbr\u003elook at it. (It is the Ace of Spades, but he does not know that.) You lay it\u003cbr\u003eface-down in front of you, and say, \"Now give me the Ace of Spades.\"\u003cbr\u003eHe chooses another card and hands it over unseen. You look at it and lay it\u003cbr\u003eface-down beside the other one. This card is the Jack of Clubs; so you say,\u003cbr\u003e\"Give me the Jack of Clubs.\" He draws another card and gives it to you\u003cbr\u003ewithout looking at it. You see it is the ten of Clubs, so you say, \"I will draw\u003cbr\u003eone myself now, and that will be enough. I will draw the Ten of Clubs.\"\u003cbr\u003eAfter hesitating over the spread cards, you draw the bottom one-the one\u003cbr\u003eon the far left-which you know very well is the five of Hearts (because you\u003cbr\u003esaw it when you lifted the cards off the pack). You place it face-down with the\u003cbr\u003ethree cards he has drawn.\u003cbr\u003eNow turn over the four face-down cards in front of you, and, behold, they\u003cbr\u003eare the very cards you named!\u003cbr\u003eIf your friend should draw the bottom card-the only one you know-the\u003cbr\u003etrick would be spoiled and you would have to shuffle all the cards and try\u003cbr\u003eagain.\u003cbr\u003eNeedle in the Haystack\u003cbr\u003eFor this you must secretly \"prepare\" the pack, by dividing it into two\u003cbr\u003estacks, one all black cards (Spades and Clubs), the other all red (Hearts and\u003cbr\u003eDiamonds).\u003cbr\u003eLaying one stack aside-in your lap or on the table covered carelessly with\u003cbr\u003eyour left hand, anywhere you can reach it quickly-hold out the other stack,\u003cbr\u003eface-down, and have someone draw any card and look at it.\u003cbr\u003eSuppose it is the black half ( although 0£ course he does not know that all\u003cbr\u003ethe cards are black) and he draws the Four of Spades. While he holds the\u003cbr\u003ecard, you say, \"You must write down the name of the card.\"\u003cbr\u003eThis is only to distract his attention, and while he looks about for a pencil,\u003cbr\u003eyou quickly switch the two stacks, without his seeing you do it, and then say,\u003cbr\u003e\"Never mind writing it down, if you are sure you can remember it. Put it back\u003cbr\u003ein the pack anywhere, while I shut my\u003cbr\u003eeyes and turn my head.\"\u003cbr\u003eYou hold out the stack ( the red half) face-down, and he slips the card in.\u003cbr\u003eYou shuffle them thoroughly (being careful to keep their backs toward him,\u003cbr\u003eso he cannot see they are all red but his one black card) .When they are\u003cbr\u003eshuffled, look at the cards yourself, and instantly pick out his card and throw\u003cbr\u003eit on the table.\u003cbr\u003eIt was easy, of course, because he had drawn a card from the black stack,\u003cbr\u003eand put it back into the red stack - the only black card among them all.\u003cbr\u003e...","brand":"99 \u0026cent; store, save to buy more","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171631939824,"sku":"2940014066785","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014066785_p0.jpg?v=1763599972","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014066785","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
