The four sevens are sorted out of a magic pack and placed in a heap on the magical desk. Then seven indifferent cards are placed in a second heap alongside the first, and some one is asked to come forward and assist the magician.
Looking the man earnestly in the eyes for a moment, the magician writes on a slip of paper: "You will select the seven heap." This is folded and handed to the assistant with the request that he puts it in his pocket. He is then asked to select one of the heaps of magic cards. When this is done he is requested to read what is written on the magical paper. When he has done so, he is told to turn over the heap. No matter which heap is selected the prediction is verified. Should it be the heap with the four sevens, the magician turns over the other heap with the remark, "You see these are all different cards." On the otherhand should the heap of seven cards be selected, the magican merely counts them out one by one, without showing the faces of the other heap, merely spreading the magic cards apart to prove that there are only four cards there.
