Card Trick


1. Write the face value of the card that you selected on a piece of paper.
      The aces and face cards have the following values:
      Ace = 1,   J = 11,   Q = 12   K = 13.
2. Double the face value.
3. Add 3.
4. Multiply by 5.
5. If the card you selected is a club, add 1; a heart, add 3; a diamond, add 2; or a spade, add 4.
