Over half a century back after high school examination I was free for over two months for sight seeing and sports. While at home, I did drawing and devising different games. In those days I also devised a game of cards known as magic among children. Some time back I discovered some of my old diaries. I found a magic game of cards in it. Arrange a pack of cards in the following manner.
Spade = S, Heart = H, Diamond = D, Club = C, Ace = A, King = K, Queen = Q and Jack = J
Keep on placing the cards on the table, face up, in the following order
SA, C4, S2, H3, S10, S3, DQ, DJ, H9, S4, H4, D9, C8, HQ, S5, C5, H5, C10, SJ, D4, S6, D7, D6, DK, H6, H10, C6, S7, CK, DA, CQ, C9, SQ, H7, D8, S8, HK, CA, D2, C2, HJ, C7, H8, D5, S9, C3, CJ, SK, HA, D10, H2, D3
Now pick up the cards together and turn them face down and back up. Saying one pick up one card from top of the pack and place it on the table face up. It will be Ace of Spade.
Then saying one, pick up a card from top of the pack and place it under the pack as it was (face down). Then saying two pick a card from top of the pack and place it on the table face up. It will be 2 of Spade.
Again saying one, pick up a card from top of the pack and place it under the pack as it was (face down). Then saying two pick up a card from top of the pack and place it under the pack as it was (face down). Then saying three pick up a card from top of the pack and place it on the table face up. It will be 3 of Spade.
Go on repeating this increasing one every time till 13 cards of Spade are finished.
Now repeat the exercise for Heart, then for Club and then for Diamond.
