    This document provides instructions for a card divination trick. The magician notes the top card of the deck and has the spectator deal off a small pile of cards, bringing the noted card to the face. The spectator then shuffles the deck, forgetting which card was on top. Finally, the magician reveals the original top card through "powers of divination" or by finding it in the shuffled deck. Though simple, the method of forcing the card and subsequent shuffling prevents spectators from realizing how it was done.

    SELF WORKING CARD MAGIC SERIES # 2

    Divination Supreme
    You must know the top card of the pack. You can ascertain this quite openly and without
    suspicion merely by fanning the cards face up for a moment "to show that it is a regular,
    ordinary pack well mixed," etc. Hand pack to spectator and turn your back to avoid seeing his
    actions.
    Tell him to deal off a small pile of cards, but silently so that you cannot know their number, and
    to avoid prolonging things, not too many, say any number up to 15. This of course will
    bring the card you noted to the face of the dealt-off packet.
    So far this is an old subterfuge. But now comes a procedure, the idea of Walter Gibson,
    designed to cause the spectator to forget this, taking his mind off it altogether. He is asked to
    divide the rest of the deck into 2 nearly equal piles, then to shuffle each of these 2 piles
    separately.
    This done, he is to pick up the dealt...off heap, square it, look at and remember the bottom card,
    then sandwich it between the 2 shuffled parts of the main deck. In this manner you have
    "forced" the top card of the pack, the one you noted.
    Now you tell him to shuffle the entire deck. Many laymen know the principle of the "key" card,
    the card lying next to a noted one, and this shuffle will be sure to throw them off.
    You can now finish in any manner you choose, naming the card by your powers of divination,
    or you can locate it in the pack.
    Note: At the start you may wish to have him first think of number, say, between 5 and 15, then
    have him deal that number of cards. This will plant the suggestion that the number dealt
    has something to do with it and that you intend to ask for that number later on. Of course you
    never do.
    Simple as this appears to be, the solution never occurs to the spectator.
