Working Nine To Five For Gilbreath by Art Vanderlay

Whilst seated around a dinner table, one of your guests requests for you to show them some of your abilities. Grabbing a deck of cards from your drawer, you hand them to your guest instructing him to give them a shuffle.

Once done the deck is then separated into four smaller groups of cards and handed out to four other members of the group for further shuffling. These groups of cards are then placed onto the table. You look away as your original guest selects any pile they like and then proceeds to get rid of the rest of the piles. He/she looks through the cards and attempts to send them to you via telepathy. You are now able to name every single card in his or her hand (you will be wrong or closely miss once or twice). Proof of mind reading!
