Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring

You
make
the
pass
to
bring
them
to
the
top,
and
palm
them,
and
then
immediately
hand
the
pack
to
be
shuffled
by
one
of
the
company.
This
being
done,
you
replace
them
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
and,
spreading
the
cards,
and
appearing
to
reflect
a
moment,
pick
out
by
the
backs
as
many
cards
as
there
have
been
persons
who
drew
(i.e.,
four)
including
among
them
the
two
cards
a
and
b.
Exhibiting
the
four
cards,
you
ask
each
drawer
to
say,
without
naming
his
card,
whether
his
card
is
among
them.
The
reply
is,
of
course,
in
the
affirmative.
Each
person
who
drew,
seeing
his
own
card
among
those
shown,
naturally
assumes
that
the
remaining
cards
are
those
of
the
other
drawers;
and
the
remainder
of
the
audience,
finding
the
drawers
satisfied,
are
fully
convinced
that
the
cards
shown
are
the
four
which
were
drawn.
You
now
replace
the
cards
in
different
parts
of
the
pack,
placing
the
two
actually
drawn
in
the
middle,
and
secretly
make
the
pass
to
bring
them
to
the
top.
Then,
spreading
the
cards,
you
invite
another
person
to
draw,
which
you
allow
him
to
do
wherever
he
chooses.
When
he
has
done
so,
you
request
him
to
name
aloud
his
card,
which
we
will
call
c.
Holding
the
card
aloft,
you
ask
each
of
the
former
drawers
in
succession,
“Is
this
your
card?”
To
which
each
answers,
“No.”
