Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring

[D]
Another
form
of
this
trick,
in
which
sleight-of-hand
is
not
needed,
has
been
given
at
page
52.
Another
Method.--The
card
having
been
drawn
and
replaced,
bring
it
to
the
top
by
the
pass,
palm
it,
have
the
pack
shuffled,
and
replace
it
on
the
top.
Invite
the
audience
to
choose
at
what
number
it
shall
appear.
They
choose,
we
will
suppose,
fifth.
“Very
good,”
you
reply;
“permit
me,
in
the
first
place,
to
show
you
that
it
is
not
there
already.”
Deal
out
the
first
five
cards,
face
downwards,
and
show
that
the
fifth
is
not
the
chosen
card.
Replace
the
five
cards,
in
their
present
order
on
the
pack,
when
the
card
will
be
at
the
number
named.
SEVERAL
PERSONS
HAVING
EACH
DRAWN
AND
RETURNED
A
CARD,
TO
MAKE
EACH
CARD
APPEAR
AT
SUCH
NUMBER
IN
THE
PACK
AS
THE
DRAWER
CHOOSES.--Allow
three
or
four
persons
each
to
draw
a
card.
When
all
have
drawn,
make
the
pass
in
such
manner
as
to
bring
the
two
halves
of
the
pack
face
to
face.
The
pack
should
not,
however,
be
equally
divided.
The
upper
portion
should
only
consist
of
about
half-a-dozen
cards,
and
therefore
in
making
the
pass
you
should
insert
the
finger
only
at
that
number
of
cards
from
the
bottom.
Receive
back
the
drawn
cards
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
“ruffling”
the
cards
(see
page
27),
and
saying
“Pass!”
as
each
card
is
replaced.
You
may
casually
remark,
“Your
card
has
vanished;
did
you
see
it
go?”
When
all
are
returned,
you
quickly
“turn
over”
the
pack
(see
page
37),
and,
taking
off
the
top
card,
say,
addressing
yourself
to
the
person
who
last
returned
a
card,
“You
see
your
card
has
vanished,
as
I
told
you.
At
what
number
in
the
pack,
say
from
the
first
to
the
tenth,
would
you
like
it
to
re-appear?”
We
will
suppose
the
answer
to
be
“the
sixth.”
You
deal
five
cards
from
the
end
of
the
pack
that
is
now
uppermost,
then
pretending
a
momentary
hesitation,
say,
“I
fancy
I
dealt
two
cards
for
one;
allow
me
to
count
them
again.”
