Take four kings, and place between the third and fourth any two common
cards whatever, which must be neatly concealed; then show the four
kings, and place the six cards at the bottom of the pack; take one of
the kings, and lay it on the top, and put one of the common cards into
the pack nearly about the middle; do the same with the other, and then
show that there is still one king at the bottom: desire any one to cut
the pack, and as three of the kings were left at the bottom, the four
will therefore be found together in the middle of the pack.
