card of the pack, now facing you, has a blue back. It is the duplicate of the face card. You should be facing the
audience and the volunteer an an oblique angle to insure that the back of the top card is not visible to the
audience. The fact that the deck is held in a vertical position makes the top card much easier to conceal than it
would be if the pack were held parallel to the floor.
As soon as the spectator s palm is face-up in front of you, you will perform three simultaneous actions. When
your left hand removes the face card, the pad of the right pinkie will push slightly forward on the upper right
corner of the top card. This action will cause the bottom right corner of the card to pivot out slightly to your
right away from the grip of the right thumb. As soon as the bottom card has pivoted out, apply downward

pressure with the right pinkie on the upper right corner which now extends over the corner of the pack by about
a quarter of an inch. This will cause the top card (the blue back duplicate of the spectator s selection) to spring
upwards into the right palm.
At the exact moment that you begin the move, drop your right hand to waist level, bringing the face of the pack
parallel to the floor. It should reach this position at just about the same moment as the selected card is deposited
on the spectator s palm.
It is, as you can see, the downward motion of the right hand provides perfect cover for the action of the palm.
And it is the psychological riffle ploy and the principle of visual precedent which have made the entire
sequence invisible, natural, and completely undetectable.
The rest of the routine should be obvious. You need merely put your right hand into your inside jacket pocket
and bring out the previously palmed card.
Whether or not you actually put this routine into your show, it is very important that you attain a fair mastery
of its underlying physical, presentational and psychological principals and the way in which they all work
together to create a baffling effect.
They will serve you well.
End of Part Two - Part Three will appear on August 19, 2002, or thereabouts

| Cytat |
Dobre pomysły nie mają przeszłości, mają tylko przyszłość. Robert Mallet
De minimis - o najmniejszych rzeczach.
Dobroć jest ważniejsza niż mądrość, a uznanie tej prawdy to pierwszy krok do mądrości. Theodore Isaac Rubin
Dobro to tylko to, co szlachetne, zło to tylko to, co haniebne.
Dla człowieka nie tylko świat otaczający jest zagadką; jest on nią sam dla siebie. I z obu tajemnic bardziej dręczącą wydaje się ta druga. Antoni Kępiński (1918-1972)
