Performing the Trick

When you turn around and look away, the spectator turns around one of the cards.

When you return to the table, you simply look for the card that displays a center pip that is upside down. But when you do this, don’t simply look at the cards and then tell the spectator. Be sure to hold your hand over each card as you look them over and act as if you are feeling vibrations or some other ploy. After concentrating a while, look the spectator in the eye and name the card.
