      TRICKS WITH CARDS.

      NAMING UNSEEN CARDS.

      Before showing this trick, place a card, say the Nine of Heart, in your coat pocket, with the face outwards. When planning the order in which you intend to exhibit your tricks to your audience, it is as well to make a list of all such special arrangements as the above—you are then certain that everything is prepared before you begin. When showing a series of tricks to your friends, it is not always easy to leave the room for any such purpose as this.

      You now hand round the pack, so that it may be freely shuffled. When the cards are returned, you announce that you can, as the result of deep study, tell the name of the bottom card, by looking right through the whole pack. While making some such nonsensical remark, you slip the pack in your pocket in such a way that the hidden Nine of Hearts comes on top, but facing in the opposite direction to all the others.

      You now use your hands to point out that there are no mirrors or bright surfaces to help you and take the pack again from your pocket, holding it out so that the audience can see the Nine of Hearts. Naturally they take this to be the bottom card, and do not know that the real bottom card now faces you.

      You pretend to concentrate upon the pack you are holding out at arm’s length and at last announce the name of the card. You then put the pack on the table and remove this card, reversing the pack so that you appear to take it from the bottom. Throw your handkerchief, or a square of black velvet, over the pack, and say that you can do it still more easily when the pack is covered over! Give a slip of paper and a pencil to one of your audience and ask him, or her, to put down the names of the cards as you call them out.

      Gaze quickly, but earnestly, at the hidden pack and name the card you now know to be the bottom one; but, when you slip your hand under the cloth in order to remove the card, you take the top one out instead. Don’t show it to your audience, because, of course, it is not the card you name; but hold it easily in your hand while again gazing at the hidden pack, and glance at
