Following this, the magician shuffles the cards together many times, takes some of the cards, flips them, and then shuffles them into the other pile to ensure that no one can know if the selected card is face-up or down. The magician then takes the whole deck and spreads it on the table so the spectator can easily see the chaotic arrangement of cards.
