Six Bridge-size cards are placed face down on the table, in a
row. The magician then designates the cards by numbering
them from one end to the other; one, two, three, four, five, and
six.
A die is then handed to the spectator and they are requested to
make sure it is ordinary and then to roll it out. Whatever number
comes up is the card that will be used. Let's say the number is
three. The magician then puts a match box, coin, or any simple
object on this card.
The rest of the cards are then gathered up and put into the
magician's pocket. Never at any time has the spectator seen
the faces of any of the cards.
The spectator is then requested to roll out the die and remember
the top number. They are then to look at the number on the
bottom of the die and add the two numbers. Let's say the
number on top is five, then the number on the bottom is two. So
the total is seven. The spectator is told to divide that number by
two. You ask them the result of their division and they say three
and a half. Magician then appears to be stumped and that
something has gone wrong as the result was supposed to
indicate the chosen card. Anyway, the spectator is asked to turn
over the card and they find that it worked after all, as the card is
the Three and a half of Clubs!
