3. Riffle the outer end and remove any card from the centre of the pack, placing it face upwards at the top. Square this card with the once face downwards under it, by running the right fingers and thumb along the end of the pack, saying, 'Is this your card?' As you say this, lift the two cards above the break as one, with the right second finger and thumb at the ends near the right corners. Hold them about 25 mm (1 in) above the pack, and press down on the top card with the right index finger, thus bending the cards and preventing them from spreading.

4. Simultaneously drop the left thumb under the pack and turn the pack face upwards on your left palm, saying, 'Then is the card at the bottom your card?' Receiving a negative response, place the two cards held by the right hand on the face of the pack.

5. Turn the pack face downwards and make a complete cut as you say, 'In the past ten years science has made such enormous strides that few laymen comprehend its achievements. The theory of throughth is one of these new findings. Formerly it was believed that if I were to turn this pack face upwards, like this [here you delicately turn the pack face upwards, holding it in the left hand] every card in the pack would be turned face upwards. Scientists have now discovered that this need not be so. By utilising throughth, the new dimension, I will turn the pack face downwards, like this [and you turn the pack face downwards] and no doubt you are certain that every card in the pack is facing downwards. Actually every card but one was turned. One card remained face upwards, while the others rearranged their molecular structure, disintegrating for a fraction of a second, and passed through the throughth card.

'This concept is so revolutionary that the average person cannot grasp its implications. For this reason, I offer proof.'

Spread the pack face upwards on the table. The chosen card lies face downwards among the cards. Delicately push this card forwards with the right forefinger. Have the spectator name his card and slowly turn it over. 'One card did not turn with the others. That was your card. You see, I applied throughth - and that's the consequence.'

Insidious Dr Fu Liu Tu

In this urbane feat the celebrated Chinese magician Dr Fu Liu Tu comes to your rescue and reveals the name of a chosen card.

Before you start, secretly purloin one of the aces from the pack that you will use for this trick, and on it draw six Chinese characters, copying some real Chinese writing. Do not trust to your imagination and draw some nondescript hieroglyphics that you think look like Chinese. Since the trick is such a good one and you will do it often, it would be a good plan to have an extra ace thus prepared. Carry it in your wallet and when occasion arises secretly add it to your deck.
