IF you can see no card, or be suspected to have seen that which you mean to shew, then let a stander by first shuffle, and afterwards take you the cards into your hands, and (having shewed and not seen the bottome card) shuffle again and keep the same card as before you are taught; and either make shift then to see it when their suspicion is past, which may be done by letting some cards fall, or else lay down all the cards in heaps, remembring where you laid your bottome card. Then spie how many cards lye in some one heap, and lay the heap where your bottome card is upon that heap, and all the other heaps upon the same: and so, if there were five cards in the heap whereon you laid your card, then the same must be the sixt card, which now you may throw out, or look upon without suspicion; and tell them the card they saw.
