ANOTHER
MODE
OF
DISCOVERING
A
CARD
THOUGHT
OF.--Have
the
pack
well
shuffled.
Then
deal
twenty-five
cards,
in
five
rows
of
five
cards
each,
face
upwards.
Invite
a
person
to
think
of
a
card,
and
to
tell
you
in
which
row
it
is.
Note
in
your
own
mind
the
first
or
left-hand
card
of
that
row.
Now
pick
up
the
cards
in
vertical
rows,
i.e.,
beginning
at
the
last
card
of
the
last
row,
placing
that
card
face
upwards
on
the
last
of
the
next
row,
those
two
on
the
last
of
the
next
row,
and
so
on.
When
you
have
picked
up
all
the
cards
in
this
manner,
deal
them
out
again
in
the
same
way
as
at
first.
You
will
observe
that
those
cards
which
at
first
formed
the
first
cards
of
each
row,
now
themselves
form
the
first
row.
Ask
the
person
in
which
row
his
card
now
is.
When
he
has
told
you,
look
to
the
top
row
for
the
first
card
of
the
original
row,
when
the
card
thought
of
will
be
found
in
a
direct
line
below
it.
As
you
have
just
been
told
in
which
lateral
row
it
is,
you
will
not
have
the
least
difficulty
in
discovering
it,
and
by
a
slight
effort
of
memory
you
may
even
allow
several
persons
each
to
think
of
a
card,
and
name
it.
A
comparison
of
the
subjoined
tables,
showing
the
original
and
subsequent
order
of
the
cards,
will
explain
the
principle
of
the
trick.
