We will assume that you wish to learn the name of the top card, either to use as a key card, as a force card, or as the spectator’s chosen card:

1. Hold the right hand with its palm to the audience on your right side and move your left hand up to it, thus bringing the pack to a vertical position face outwards.

2. Touch the tip of the right forefinger with the tip of the left forefinger, Fig. 2, making some such remark as, “The tip of my right forefinger, ladies and gentlemen, has miraculous powers.”

3. In the meantime you have buckled the top card with the left thumb, as in “a” above, and have sighted the index.

The action provides a logical excuse for turning your gaze to the pack.
