Effect :
Any pack shuffled freely and spread on the table, a
spectator removes any card he wishes, looks at it and replaces it
at the spot from which he took it. Magician gathers up the pack,
the card is named and he spells it out, dealing a card to each
letter, finally turning up the card.



HOW IT'S DONE.... 
When the pack is spread on the table it must be done
with a wide sweep. The spectator is given a free choice but when
he removes a card, count visually to the twelfth card above the
spot from which it was removed. When the card is replaced, watch
the card to which you counted, and in gathering up the pack hold
a break there with the thumb and transfer them to the bottom by
cutting the pack. The chosen card will now be the thirteenth card
and most cards can be spelled with thirteen letters. If it is
necessary to get rid of one or two cards simply take them off the
top, fan the pack with them and then put them casually on the
bottom. The best way to pick up the cards is to first make the
spread from right to left, then when a card has been removed,
pick up the cards above the twelfth card beyond it and use them
as a scoop to pick up the rest when the card has been returned.
