describe, simply a location, but the moves you go thru, make it a real card
trick with anybody's deck of cards.
First of all take one of your cards, and with your thumb on the right hand
edge (with the card face down), you crimp the side of card in the place
you'll notice in FIG. 7. Crimp it UP. You shuffle the deck now, and then let
everyone else shuffle it if you want. Next, have a card freely selected, and
then have it put back. Bring it to the top, via the pass.
Immediately shuffle the deck in the following manner. The cards in right
hand, all of them, ready for an overhand shuffle. With left hand fingers,
draw of both top and bottom cards together. See FIG. 8. Now shuffle all in
a regular shuffle on top. At finish, your selected card should be second from
bottom.
Next, show the top card and the next card, etc. are not the selected ones.
Now turn over deck, and let them see bottom. They don't see their card and
9 out of 10 magicians will be fooled already, even tho' they saw you make
the pass.
Now shuffle again exactly as before, taking the top and bottom cards off at
the start, together, then shuffle off the balance, LEAVING THE LAST
CARD ON TOP. Now that is the selected card. Next look along the side of
deck, as you square it up, for that crimped card. Hold the cards now in left

Now You Magicians That
hand, ready for the one hand cut, and MAKE IT, but when it is HALF
MADE, that is, when the lower half of deck has dropped down, AS YOU
CONTINUE THE PASS, your right hand takes off the top card (of the top
half) and as you complete the cut, the card goes on top. This is done in a
flash, quicker, lots quicker, than I can explain it here.
Now your crimped card is on the bottom and your selected card is on the
top. You have them pretty well balled up by now with your shuffles. Now
you want to know what their card is, and here's how you find out. Take
deck in left hand and with left thumb, riffle the corner of the deck, and cut it
about half, lifting off the top half with the right hand, and with left hand,
push over the top card a little and hold up your hand so they can see that
pushed over card and say "Is that your card?" AND JUST WHEN YOU
HOLD IT UP FOR THEM TO SEE, you peek at the top card in right hand,
as per Illus. No. 12.
This illustration has the card bent
back quite a lot for purposes of
clearness, but you actually only
pull that card back a trifle, enough
for a quick glimpse. AND
REMEMBER, YOU WILL
NEVER BE CAUGHT IF YOU
DO IT AS DESCRIBED because
THEY MUST LOOK AT THE
CARD YOU ARE SHOWING
WITH YOUR LEFT HAND.
Now even up the whole deck,
make the one hand pass again,
which brings the selected card in the middle and the crimped card on top of
it. Next show the top few cards and the bottom few, and as the deck is all
evened up, and their card is not around top or bottom, what can they think.
NOTHING. So you tell them the name of their card and ask them if that
isn't right, and then say "I wonder if I could find it for you."
Make the one hand pass again, with your TIP OF THUMB against the
crimped card, and after completing the pass, turn over the top card and
show it. It's a hard trick for ANYONE to follow, and in the trick, I have
given you a new peek, a new location, and a shuffle that seems to fool them
all. The whole of them combined make up a trick for you that you can show
anywhere and fool the majority, if not all.

Another Suggestion
Here's How by Frank Lane

ANOTHER SUGGESTION
Bob Hull, of Crooksville, Ohoho, tells us how to reverse the pack in a
million ways and one cut will bring them all face down again. It looks fine
and I like it, Bob. May I offer one suggestion? SPRING THE CARDS
FIRST from right to left hand, as usual, and this automatically crimps them
a trifle. Now do your turn avers taking a few cards at a time and reversing
them and continue the stunt until through, and then evening the cards in
your left hand, you will see the crimp plainly. Now all you do is to make a
quick ONE HAND CUT, with left hand, and instead of completing it in the
ordinary manner, as the top portion comes UNDER, you reverse the whole
portion (top) and that brings the cards all face down, without looking for a
break or a place to cut, or without running through the deck at all. Geo.
Pierce, Jim Grigsby, Gen. Grant, etc., all thought so well of this one little
move, I include it here.
