1. Select 8 cards randomly from the deck of cards. With the cards facing the audience, fan out 7 of the cards from your left to your right keeping 1 card hidden behind the fan (the hidden card). This is the secret of the trick. You will need some practice to do this perfectly without your audience noticing that there is one card hiding.
2. From the audience’s view, they will only see 7 cards facing them without noticing the one card hiding behind the fan. Ask one of the audience members to point at one of those cards facing them. Ask the member to memorize the card and tell the position of it in the fan from your right (the top first card of the fan). In the example, the audience member chooses the Ace of Hearts, which is the “fourth” card from their view. (Secret: From your view, it should be the “fifth” card when you count together with the hidden card)

Ob der Ausdruck wiederholt vorkommt? Weil die davorstehende Beschreibung ja unmißverständlich ist ... Könnte man nicht einfach "erste Karte" sagen?
