Any deck is well shuffled by a spectator who then cuts off about a third of the cards. He is asked to look them over and finally settle his mind upon any one card in the packet lie is holding. You now take the packet, fan it, and appear to be trying to locate the thought-of card. Actually you look for two spot cards of like value, preferably from 6 to 10. These are kept together and are moved about in the fan, which is held face towards you, so that the second of the two cards will occupy its own number from the top of the packet. Thus, if you use two "nines," one should be placed eighth and the other ninth from the top; if two "eights," one should be seventh and the other eighth. Professing failure in your search, you say that you'll deal the cards into a face up pile, and ask the spectator to watch for his chosen card and note its position in the pile. The spectator thus watches for his card to remember the number it will fall at, while you take the opportunity of noting the total number of cards in the pile.
