Hanky Panky

by Wiljalba Frikell

TO NAME SEVERAL CHOSEN CARDS OUT OF A PACK DIVIDED INTO TWO HEAPS.

A complete pack is divided into two such lots that all the aces, nines, sevens, fives, and threes, are in one, and all the kings, queens, knaves, tens, eights, sixes, fours, and twos, are in the other.

Let several of the company draw cards out of either of the heaps, change the heaps unperceived, and let the persons place the odd cards, as ace, nine, &c., into the heap of even cards, and vice versâ. On running over the cards, you easily discover the drawn cards, the even cards being in the heap of odd cards, and the odd cards in the heap of even cards.
