the trick goes as follows
A deck of cards is shuffled by a spectator (and the cards are shown to be shuffled), and the magician cuts the cards into 10 packs as follows
The first pack has 1 card, the second pack has 2 cards, the third pack has 3 cards, and so on.
After this, the magician shows that these cuts are so exact that on top of each pack are all the spades IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER from Ace to Ten, indicating the number of cards in each pack!
The magician then performs THREE exacting cuts, showing three packs
the first pack is shown to reveal all the diamonds IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER from Ace to King!
The second pack is shown to reveal all the clubs IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER from Ace to King, and the third pack reveals all the hearts IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER from Ace to King --
The entire deck now in order.
any help would be appreciated.
