Third
Method.
(With
both
hands.)--This
is
very
similar
to
the
first
method,
but
much
less
neat.
Take
the
cards,
as
in
the
former
case,
face
downwards
in
the
left
hand,
but
instead
of
the
little
finger,
insert
the
second
and
third
fingers
immediately
above
those
cards
which
are
to
be
brought
to
the
top
of
the
pack,
and
draw
the
first
and
fourth
fingers
below
the
pack.
(See
Fig.
5.)
In
this
position,
the
lower
half
of
the
pack
is
held
as
in
a
forceps
between
the
second
and
third
and
the
first
and
fourth
fingers.
Now
cover
the
pack
with
the
right
hand
as
directed
for
making
the
pass
by
the
first
method,
but
in
this
instance
grasp
therewith
(between
the
first
and
second
fingers
at
top
and
the
thumb
at
bottom)
the
upper
half
of
the
pack.
Raise
this
upper
half
slightly,
to
allow
room
for
the
movement
of
the
lower
half,
and
at
the
same
moment
slightly
extend
the
fingers
of
the
left
hand.
(See
Fig.
6.)
This
will
make
the
lower
packet
describe
a
quarter
of
a
circle.
As
soon
as
it
is
clear
of
the
upper
packet,
by
reversing
the
motion
(i.e.,
closing
the
fingers
of
the
left
hand,
and
at
the
same
time
lowering
the
right
hand),
the
two
halves
of
the
pack
will
be
again
brought
together,
but
that
half
which
was
originally
undermost
will
now
be
uppermost.
The
movement
will
be
understood
more
clearly
on
an
inspection
of
the
diagrams
a
and
b
(Fig.
6),
a
representing
an
end
view
of
the
two
portions
of
the
pack
in
their
original
position,
and
b
of
the
same
in
their
transposed
position,
the
original
lower
portion
being
in
each
case
indicated
by
the
darker
shade.
