Turn back, gather up and combine the three stacks in any order, and turn the resulting packet of fifteen cards face down. Once you are convinced that these instructions have been understood, turn away, and have the switch done. Finally, hide the jettisoned card in the rest of the deck, and set it aside."

"When I turn away in a moment, I want you to remove any one of the cards in these three piles, noting its position carefully, and replace it with a card of your choice from the remainder of the deck, switching red for black or vice versa. Straighten up the clumps of cards into three stacks of five cards, which will look something like this:Īddress one of your audience.
