A Transposition Concept

decova,

Here is how I make a sim­ple card trans­po­si­tion stronger and more mem­o­rable. The main thing is the glass bit. By turn­ing the glass (thus indi­cat­ing the trans­po­si­tion), every­thing is much clear­er and impres­sive for the ordi­nary spec­ta­tor, who is dis­tract­ed by food, whine and the women at the din­ner table …

P.S.: This used to be my open­er for many years in my table-hop­ping times. When you do it with a glass from the din­ner table, be sure to use an emp­ty one! And yes, I always had a dupli­cate card in my deck—it made things sooo much eas­i­er.
