The effect — what they see

This is the opening to a complete method rather than a single trick. It promises a way of arranging a deck so cunningly that no prearrangement is apparent under inspection, letting you deal winning hands, reveal thoughts, and spell to chosen cards. The most striking claim is that the pack can be stacked secretly during performance, even with a borrowed deck at a moment's notice.

Can I learn this now?

A little rehearsal will do it; nothing difficult to handle. It needs a full pre-arranged stack before you perform.
