Step 1
Begin with the 3 of clubs.
-
Step 2
Order the cards by suit in CHaSeD order, clubs (C), hearts (H), spades (S) and diamonds (D). Also order the cards by value, increasing the value by three in each successive card. Therefore, the second card will be a 6 of hearts, the third will be the 9 of spades, the fourth card will be the queen of diamonds, the fifth card will be the 2 of clubs, and so forth.
-
Step 3
Perform the trick, allowing a card to be selected and memorized by an audience member and then inserted into the deck at random. The deck may be cut by the audience member or false-shuffled by the magician.
-
Step 4
Spread out the cards and look for the card that is out of place. If the deck has been cut, the sequence will not start with the 3 of clubs, but the order will be unchanged.
-
Step 1
Begin with the 3 of any suit.
-
Step 2
Order the cards by increasing the value of 3 each time, paying no attention to suits.
-
Step 3
Perform the trick as in Section 1.
