Method: When the borrowed deck is handed to you, cut any 7, 8 or 9 to the top. The way to do this is as follows. Say you spot the ♠ 7 in the middle of the pack. Cut the deck and complete the cut so the ♠ 7 is now on top.

Count 26 cards off the top into a heap on the table. Count the cards one at a time off the top. Make sure you count carefully so you have exactly 26 cards. Then pick up the counted heap and place it on top of the deck. The ♠ 7 is now twenty-sixth from the top of the deck.

On a piece of paper jot down the chart shown in Figure 29. Place the deck on the table. Ask the spectator to cut off about a quarter of the deck. The number of cards he takes is not important as long as he cuts off less than half the deck.

When he has cut off a packet, pick up the remainder of the deck and count 25 cards off the top, one at a time, onto a heap on the table. Place the rest of the deck aside.

Ask him to count the number of cards he cut. Say he cut 14 cards. Have him count to the fourteenth card in the 25-card heap. It will be the ♠ 7.

He then consults the chart to discover that all he has won is your thanks. Gently tell him, “Better luck next time.”
