In this case the crimp is made in the outer right corner of a chosen card when it is returned to the pack by the spectator and the cards have been spread between the hands in readiness to receive it.

When the card has been pushed in amongst the others, press the tip of the left second finger upwards against its face at the outer right corner (the top index corner); in the act of closing the spread with the right hand, strike the tip of the right second finger against this index corner and crimp it downwards over the tip of the left second finger, Fig. 1.

Square the pack in the left hand, take it by the outer left corner and hand it to the spectator for shuffling. This action reverses the pack end for end, bringing the crimp to the side away from the spectator and, therefore, it cannot be noticed by him when he makes an overhand shuffle. After the shuffle place the pack in the left hand vertically, back outwards, Fig. 2, and the crimp will be found at the upper inner corner.
