The performer seizes the card to be exchanged for the top card of the pack (say the six of Diamonds), between the thumb and fingers of the right hand. Holding the pack in the left hand as shown in Fig. 13, the top card of the pack is slightly pushed over towards the right hand by means of the left thumb.

The conjurer thus first shows the Six of Diamonds to the spectators sitting to the right, then to the ones directly opposite, and, finally to the persons to the left. After having done so, the performer apparently places the card on the table to the right, but in the act of passing the right hand over the pack in the left, the Six of Diamonds is left on top of the latter, the Ace of Hearts being noiselessly seized instead and placed on the table.

This trick is from the book “Card Tricks and How To Do Them”, published by A. Roterberg.
