After having secured a break with the left little finger, in squaring the pack grip the top packet with the right thumb and second finger, remove the little finger from the break and move the top packet inwards a fraction of an inch. Let the bottom card of the packet slip free from the thumb tip and at once push the packet forward flush with the lower packet.

The action takes but a moment and the squaring movement is- continued, the tip of the thumb sliding along the inner end of the upper packet only, above the jogged card. The appearance of squaring both ends of the pack is perfect.

In either case it is a good practice to lay the pack down on the table while you pull back your sleeves or make some other gesture. This will go far towards convincing the spectators that the selected card really is lost in the pack and make its subsequent discovery all the more wonderful.
