Methods
There are many methods for accomplishing the basic effect. These are often based, in part, on the Double lift or a Stripper deck as well as a good amount of other sleight of hand. More detailed descriptions can be found in books such as The Royal Road to Card Magic, The Expert at the Card Table and Card College. Many magicians have come up with their own method, for example Dai Vernon. His Ambitious Card Routine can be found in the book Stars of Magic.

It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
