Both Eight of Spades 8! (3) The decks are again shuffled by the spectators, and a deck is placed in each of the performer's side coat pockets. He reaches into both pockets at the same time and removes a card from each deck. These two cards also are alike! Both Four of Diamonds 4!

(4) The decks are again shuffled and each spectator places a deck in his own side coat pocket. The performer reaches into their two pockets, removes a card from each, and still the two cards are alike! Both Ace of Diamonds A! (5) For the climax, the spectators reach into each other's coat pockets and remove a card. And to the amazement of all, the two freely selected cards are the same! Both Ace of Spades A!
