While this is one of the simplest of all tricks, anyone who does not know it
will be decidedly puzzled.
When you have shuffled the pack, put it face-down on the table. Then
have someone draw any card from it, look at the card, and show it to
everyone but you; then he must put it at the bottom of the pack.
While your back is turned, someone cuts the cards, placing the bottom
part on top, so the card selected is somewhere-you do not know where-in the
middle of the deck.
