WITH any pack a card having been freely chosen, returned,
brought to the top (see Chap. 19), make a riffle shuffle leaving it there. Put the pack on the table, lift off the upper half and spread the cards, keeping the top card behind the others, and ask the spectator if he sees his card. He does not. Square up these cards and take them in the left hand, face down. With the right hand pick up the remainder of the cards and turn them face up just above the cards in the left hand, at the same time push the top card of the left-hand packet (the chosen card) a little to the right with the left thumb.
Spread the right-hand packet on the left-hand cards. The spectator does not see his card there either. Close up these cards carrying away the top card of the left-hand packet. Turn the left-hand packet face up and drop the right-hand packet on top. The chosen card is now face up in the middle of the pack.
