Card Trick
We take a pack of cards and ask one of the audience to select a card and show it to the audience. We then ask the friend to place the card on the bottom of the pack and to take any number of cards from the top and and place them on the bottom. We now go through the pack and hold up the card which had been picked. All this sounds difficult but the secret is that we have beforehand noticed which card was at the bottom and the card which was selected is the one that is after the previous bottom card. „ —Copied by Blyth Harper (12).
