Place
the
cards
as
before,
counting
aloud
as
you
do
so,
till
the
whole
thirty-two
cards
are
placed.
So
far
you
have
not
varied
your
method
of
proceeding,
but
to
succeed
with
the
whole
thirty-two
cards
you
must
secretly
make
a
slight
variation
in
the
manner
of
picking
up.
You
will
remember
that
the
cards
were
picked
up
face
upwards,
beginning
from
the
bottom
of
the
right
hand
row,
placing
the
cards
of
that
row
on
those
of
the
next
row,
and
so
on.
Now,
to
perform
the
trick
with
thirty-two
cards,
the
bottom
cards
of
each
row
must
be
gathered
up
all
together,
and
placed
on
the
face
of
the
pack.
Thus,
if
the
bottom
card
of
the
first
or
left
hand
row
be
the
knave
of
spades,
that
of
the
second
row
the
ten
of
diamonds,
that
of
the
third
row
the
ace
of
hearts,
and
that
of
the
fourth
row
the
seven
of
clubs,
those
four
cards
must
be
picked
up
as
follows:
The
knave
of
spades
must
be
placed
(face
upwards)
on
the
ten
of
diamonds,
the
ten
of
diamonds
on
the
ace
of
hearts,
and
the
ace
of
hearts
on
the
seven
of
clubs,
which
will
occupy
its
own
place
on
the
face
of
the
cards
of
the
last
or
right-hand
row.
For
convenience
of
picking
up,
it
will
be
well
to
place
the
four
rows
very
near
together,
slightly
converging
at
the
bottom,
when
it
will
be
tolerably
easy,
by
a
bold,
quick
sweep
of
the
left
hand
from
left
to
right,
to
slide
the
three
other
cards
in
due
order,
on
to
the
bottom
card
of
the
last
row;
while
the
performer,
looking
not
at
the
cards
but
at
his
audience,
diverts
their
attention
by
any
observations
which
may
occur
to
him.
The
trick
in
this
form
requires
considerable
address,
and
the
performer
should
not,
therefore,
venture
upon
it
until,
by
frequent
practice,
he
can
be
certain
of
placing
the
four
cards
neatly
with
his
left
hand,
and
without
looking
at
his
hands,
which
would
infallibly
draw
the
eyes
of
the
audience
in
the
same
direction,
and
thereby
spoil
the
trick.
