- Ask a spectator to show you the cards one by one.
- Retain the first card digit, and the second card suite. This is gonna be your « favorite card ».
- When you see your card, ask him to stop and put the card face down on the table.
- If your « favorite card » is one of the top two cards, just ask the spectator to shufle again (Because obviously it is not gonna work!).
- Ask the spectator to count the card one by one on top of the other to form a pile, until he's happy.
- When he stop, ask him if he want to put another one or if he'd like to stop there.
