Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·

This
he
does.
But
during
the
course
of
the
above
little
discussion,
you
have
taken
the
opportunity
to
count
off,
and
palm
in
your
right
hand,
the
five
top
cards
of
the
pack.
It
is
hardly
necessary
to
observe
that
while
doing
this,
you
must
scrupulously
refrain
from
looking
at
your
hands.
The
mode
of
counting
is
to
push
forward
the
cards
one
by
one
with
the
thumb,
and
to
check
them
with
the
third
finger,
of
the
left
hand.
A
very
little
practice
will
enable
you
to
count
off
any
number
of
cards
by
feel,
in
this
manner,
with
the
greatest
ease.
When
the
aces
are
replaced
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
you
transfer
the
pack
from
the
left
to
the
right
hand,
thus
bringing
the
palmed
cards
above
them,
then
placing
the
whole
pack
on
the
table,
face
downwards,
inquire,
“Will
you
be
good
enough
to
tell
me
where
the
aces
are
now?”
The
answer
is
generally
very
confident,
“On
the
top
of
the
pack.”
Without
taking
the
pack
in
your
hand,
you
take
off,
one
by
one,
the
four
top
cards,
and
lay
them
face
downwards
on
the
table,
as
before;
then
taking
up
the
fifth
card
and
exhibiting
it
to
the
company,
observe,
“You
see
there
are
no
more
aces
left,
but
if
you
like
you
can
look
through
the
pack.”
