THE
STICKING
PACK
OF
CARDS.
Three
cards
are
selected
from
the
pack
by
the
company,
then
returned
to
it,
and
the
pack
is
shuffled.
The
performer
then
takes
it,
and
knocking
it
against
the
door
or
wall,
the
pack
sticks
up
there,
to
the
great
surprise
of
the
audience.
Those
of
the
company
who
chose
the
three
cards
are
asked
to
name
them,
and
as
they
do
so
they
rise
one
by
one
from
the
pack.
