To Instantly Name Any Card Chosen
The pack is spread out fanwise to a spectator, with a request for him to select a card. When this is done, the performer, in a casual manner, cuts the cards at the point where the
chosen card was removed, thereby bringing the card that was next above the selected one to the bottom of the pack, and the artiste has simply to catch a glimpse of the bottom card,
which tells him the name of the chosen one.
For instance, suppose the bottom card was the six of spades, the performer knows that the selected card must be the nine of hearts,
because hearts follow spades, and, therefore, the next card (the one drawn) is a heart, and it will be remembered in the arrangement of the pack that each card is three higher than
the preceding one. Therefore, if the bottom card is the six of spades, the selected card will be the nine of hearts.
