A
CARD
HAVING
BEEN
DRAWN
AND
RETURNED,
AND
THE
PACK
SHUFFLED,
TO
MAKE
IT
APPEAR
AT
SUCH
NUMBER
AS
THE
COMPANY
CHOOSE.[D]--Invite
a
person
to
draw
a
card.
Spread
out
the
pack
that
he
may
replace
it,
and
slip
your
little
finger
above
it.
Make
the
pass
in
order
to
bring
the
chosen
card
to
the
top;
palm
it,
and
offer
the
pack
to
be
shuffled.
When
the
pack
is
returned
to
you,
replace
the
chosen
card
on
the
top,
and
make
the
first
of
the
false
shuffles
above
described,
but
commence
by
sliding
off
into
the
right
hand
the
two
top
cards
(instead
of
the
top
card
only),
so
that
the
chosen
card
may,
after
the
shuffle,
be
last
but
one
from
the
bottom.
Take
the
pack
face
downwards
in
the
left
hand,
and
carelessly
move
about
the
pack
so
that
the
bottom
card
may
be
full
in
view
of
the
audience.
Inquire
at
what
number
the
company
would
like
the
card
to
appear;
and
when
they
have
made
their
decision,
hold
the
pack
face
downwards,
and
with
the
first
and
second
fingers
of
the
right
hand
draw
away
the
cards
from
the
bottom
one
by
one,
throwing
each
on
the
table
face
upwards,
and
counting
aloud
“one,”
“two,”
“three,”
and
so
on.
The
first
card
which
you
draw
is
naturally
the
bottom
one,
and
the
chosen
card,
which
is
second,
would
in
the
ordinary
course
come
next;
but
you
“draw
back”
this
card
with
the
third
finger
of
the
left
hand
(see
page
36)
and
take
the
next
instead,
continuing
in
like
manner
until
you
have
reached
one
short
of
the
number
at
which
the
card
is
to
appear.
You
now
pause,
and
say,
“The
next
card
should
be
the
card
you
drew.
To
avoid
any
mistake,
will
you
kindly
say
beforehand
what
it
was?”
at
the
same
time
placing
the
card
face
downwards
on
the
table.
When
the
card
is
named,
you
request
the
drawer
or
some
other
person
to
turn
it
up,
when
it
is
found
to
be
the
right
one.
