Materials:
A deck of cards.
Preparation:
Before you perform the trick, place the four jacks on top of the deck and then place three other cards - they can be any three other playing cards - on top of the jacks. Make sure that the jacks are fanned so they can be seen by spectators. The other three cards on top are hidden by the jacks, as shown in the figure.
The picture shows the back (your) view of the cards. The jacks are spread in a fan and a packet of three cards remains on top of the deck. You’re ready to perform the trick.
