FAMILY FUN
Naming a Card. Cast a glance at the bottom card, say the ace of spades. Lay out the pack in as many heaps as you like, noting where that one is laid which contains the bottom card. Ask any one to take up the top card of any heap, look at it, and replace it. You then gather up the heaps, apparently by chance, but you take care to put the heap containing the bottom card upon the card which has been chosen. You then give anyone the cards to cut, and on counting them over, the card that immediately follows the ace of spades is the card chosen. If by any accident the two cards should be separated when £ut, the upper card of the pack is the chosen one, and can be picked out with seeming care.
