THE
INSEPARABLE
SEVENS.--Place
secretly
beforehand
three
of
the
four
eights
at
the
bottom
of
the
pack,
the
fourth
eight,
which
is
not
wanted
for
the
trick,
being
left
in
whatever
position
it
may
happen
to
occupy.
(The
suit
of
this
fourth
eight
must
be
borne
in
mind,
for
a
reason
which
will
presently
appear.)
Now
select
openly
the
four
sevens
from
the
pack,
and
spread
them
on
the
table.
While
the
company
are
examining
them,
privately
slip
the
little
finger
of
the
left
hand
immediately
above
the
three
eights
at
the
bottom,
so
as
to
be
in
readiness
to
make
the
pass.
Gather
up
the
four
sevens,
and
place
them
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
taking
care
that
the
seven
of
the
same
suit
as
the
fourth
eight
is
uppermost.
Make
a
few
remarks
as
to
the
affectionate
disposition
of
the
four
sevens,
which,
however
far
apart
they
are
placed
in
the
pack,
will
always
come
together;
and
watch
your
opportunity
to
make
the
pass,
so
as
to
bring
the
three
eights,
originally
at
the
bottom,
to
the
top.
If
you
are
sufficiently
expert,
you
may
make
the
pass
at
the
very
instant
that
you
place
the
four
sevens
on
the
top
of
the
pack;
but,
unless
you
are
very
adroit,
it
is
better
to
bide
your
time
and
make
it
an
instant
later,
when
the
attention
of
the
audience
is
less
attracted
to
your
hands.
