Regarding the "second scenario issue" as it has been called. Here is what happened: If the card is not among the first 20 or so, there is a way to handle it which was explained. It was cut out in edition and when the very professional Penguin crew saw what was happening they edited it back in. Having said that, come on guys! The worst-case scenario is that it'll take you a second or two more to find the card. That's all there is to it. The trick doesn't depend on chance and those who think it does have probably not tried it out. Just get out and do it!

Thank you for the reference. Made me find and review this book again.
