Since the cards are in such a mess either could be showing.
The performer shows the cards to the spectators and they only think of either the particular casino or playing card value that falls on their secret mental number as the cards are shown. The packet is reassembled and again shuffled by each spectator if they wish again some cards face up and some face down if they desire. Each freely shuffles their respective packets, even turning cards face up or face down as they wish, and each spectator thinks of a secret number.nothing is ever said or written down. A spectator is invited to cut off some of the cards for himself (no force) and the remainder is given to a second spectator. Each card is from a different casino and each face has a different value. The mentalist shows his 'card collection' of some souvenir playing cards from various casinos.
