This order is of such a nature that, by knowing any one of the 52 cards,
that which follows it may be also known.
Thus, for example, if it were required to know what card follows the
king of spades, it will be sufficient to recollect that _septem_, in the
two Latin lines above given, which follows that of _rex_, denotes that
it is a seven; and as the colour which follows the spades is hearts, it
is the seven of hearts, and so for the rest.
Everything being thus arranged, having retained in your memory the above
words, and the order of the colours, desire any person to cut the pack
as many times as he chooses; for it will be easy to name all the cards
in order provided you have found means, by some dextrous manœuvre, to
observe that one which is at the top of the pack.
The same arrangement of the cards may be employed for the following two
tricks especially, as well as others.
