The Card Discovered By The Touch Or Smell


You offer the long card, or any other that you know, and as the person

who has drawn it holds it in his hand, you pretend to feel the pips or

figure on the under side, by your fore-finger; or you sagaciously

smell to it, and then pronounce what card it is.



If it be the long card, you may give the pack to the person who drew

it, and leave him at liberty either to replace it or not. Then taking

the pack, you feel immediately whether it be there or not, and,

shuffling the cards in a careless manner, without looking at them, you

pronounce accordingly.
