Note in your own mind the first or left hand card of that row. Now pick up the cards in verticle columns— i. e., be'ginning at the last card of the last row, placing thi.t card face upward upon the last of the next row, those two upon the last of the next row, and so on. When you have picked up all the cards in this manner, deal them out again in the same way as at first. You will observe that those cards which before formed the first cards of each row now themselves form the first row. Ask the person in which row his card now is. When he has told you, look to the top row ior the first card of the original row, when the card thought of will be found in a direct line below it in the last row indicated. Key to the Fuzzier.
