EFFECT:
The pack is given a genuine shuffle and is handed to a
spectator who deals it into four heaps, face down. He looks at a
card at the top or bottom of any heap, notes it and replaces it. A
second spectator does the same. You reassemble the pack. One of
the cards is named and you spell it out, the card appearing on the
last letter. Continuing from there you spell out the second card.


HOW IT'S DONE....
Beforehand remove the 3H, QH, 7S and QS and put
them on the top of the pack; then take out the 4, 5, J, and K of D
and place them on the bottom. To show the trick, riffle shuffle the
pack several times without disturbing the four cards at the top and
the bottom. Hand the pack to a spectator and have him deal the
cards into four piles one card at a time. This will bring one card of
the D group on the top of each pile and one card of the other set
at the bottom. Two spectators now look at a card either on the top
or the bottom of any heap and replace them in the same position.
You have simply to note where the two cards are and
remembering that there are thirteen cards in each pile, that the D
group spells with fourteen letters and the other with thirteen,
reassemble the packets accordingly. For instance, if one spectator
has looked at a bottom card, you pick it up first; if the second
spectator has looked at a top card put one of the untouched piles
on it and take these two next, finally dropping the three packets
on the last untouched heap. The two cards will then be in position
for spelling. The system is so simple no other illustration is
required. As with all these tricks a false shuffle and cuts are
necessary to make it impressive.
