Take care. Working with these objects and effects is inherently dangerous; anyone who attempts them does so at their own risk. Anybody under 18 is advised to undertake them only with a parent's permission and supervision.
This forms the most brilliant sleight of hand trick in the whole range of card conjuring. In effect it is as follows: The cards having been shuffled, the performer counts off twelve from the top of the pack, and, taking these in the left hand, he holds them at arm's ength away from the body. From this position they are caused to pass, invisibly, along the sleeve, being finally produced from the vest, one by one, with the right hand.
How it is done
The method, 3 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
