The Attached Card A spectator is invited to step forward and is requested to assist the conjurer in the trick about to follow. Introducing an ordinary pack of cards the performer asks the spectator to select a card, (say the Five of Hearts), and to return it to the pack, which is then shuffled. Handing the pack to the spectator, the performer tells them to remove their card from the pack. To their astonishment the spectator finds that the Five of Hearts has mysteriously vanished. Both the spectator and the conjurer institute a search for the missing card, which is finally discovered sticking under the back of the spectators collar. For this clever sleight of hand trick it will be necessary to have an extra Five of Hearts, placing both on top of the pack. As the spectator steps forward to assist the performer, the latter palms the top card of the pack. While instructing the spectator, the conjurer places the hand in which the card is palmed (in a confidential manner) on the back of the person and secretly pushes the palmed card partly under their collar (a coat collar working best). The conjurer then makes the pass, and forces the duplicate of the Five of Hearts on the assisting spectator, who returns it to the pack. The performer makes the pass, bringing the card to the top of the pack, and then gives the pack a vigorous but False Shuffle (keeping the Five of Hearts at the top). When handing the pack to the spectator, with the request to pick out their card, the conjurer palms off the top card and disposes of it while the spectator is engaged in looking for their card. Which, of course, they are unable to find. The performer, who also pretends to be at a loss as to the whereabouts of the missing card, then asks the person to assist in the search for it. During the search, the spectator is artfully induced by the performer to turn their back to the company. They immediately appraise the spectator of the card in the collar by their merriment. The performer then pretends to first discover the card, and after removing it dismisses the spectator with a hearty handshake and the remark that they are obviously somewhat of a conjurer themselves.
