| contents | Fitch Cheney's 5-card trick was introduced in 1950. In 2013, Mulcahy invented a 4-card trick in which the cards are allowed to be displayed face down. We suggest our own invention: a 3-card trick in which the cards can be face down and also allowed to be placed both vertically and horizontally. We discuss the theory behind all the tricks and estimate the maximum deck size given the number of chosen cards. We also discuss the cases of hiding several cards and the deck that has duplicates. |
