The Bottom Change In this form of the sleight, the card to be exchanged for the one on the top of the pack is left at the bottom of the pack. The pack is kept in the left hand between the thumb, which is lying across the top of the cards and the first finger, which is placed at the bottom. The remaining fingers of the same hand are held loosely at the same place in readiness to receive the card to be exchanged, which is held between the second and third fingers of the right hand. Fig 12 The hands are now brought together for an instant only. As this happens, the card in the right hand is left at the bottom of the pack, being inserted between the second and third fingers. At the same time the top card of the pack, which has been previously pushed towards the right by means of the left thumb, is quickly seized and carried away by the thumb and lower part of the first finger of the right hand (Fig. 12). As already stated in the description of the Top Change, there must not be the slightest lingering while the hands are placed together for that very short period of time necessary to execute the change. In the same manner as the Top Change this sleight is generally accompanied and disguised by an auxiliary movement of the body from the right towards the left.
