HERE again the key card with pencil dot on top left and lower right corners is used. Let the Pack be thoroughly shuffled and four cards be freely drawn. Fan the pack to show the cards well mixed, spot the dotted card and split the pack so that the first card is returned under it. Cut the pack several times. Fan and locate the key card and divide the pack one card below it so that the first card returned is at the face of the portion you lift off for the return of the second, tilt this slightly as the second card is returned and so sight the first person's card. Cut the pack again, then locate the dotted card and have the third card replaced under it, cut several times and repeat the operation for the return of the last card. Put the pack to your forehead and slowly name the card you sighted, the first person's card. Run through the pack, faces towards yourself and remove this card, at the same time memorize the card in front of it, the second card, the one behind it, the third card, and the one behind that, the fourth card. Hand the pack to the second man to shuffle, telling him to concentrate his thoughts on his card: put the pack to your forehead and slowly name it. Do the same with the remaining cards.
