USING any pack, secretly reverse the bottom card. Spread the
cards and have any one freely selected. After it is noted by the drawer let him return it to the top of the pack. Under cut about half the pack thus bringing the reversed card immediately above the chosen card.
Announce that you will cause the chosen card to reverse itself amongst the others. Riffle the pack and fan it out with the faces to the spectator, a card will be seen turned with its back to them. Cut, bringing it to the top, as all attention is on the spectator as he turns the card over, pull the top card to the bottom with the left fingers turning it over as it goes, a very simple operation. Cut the pack as you put it down on the table. The selected card is now reversed in the middle. The spectator says you have made a mistake, the card is not his. If you act as though you really have made a mistake so much the better; finally try again, this time with the pack in his own hands. He finds his card reversed. Use white margin cards.
It will be noted that this principle can be used simply as an easy method of locating the card, since when it is brought to the top it is ready to be palmed off or disposed of as may be necessary.
