Instructions for Under the Table and Through the Woods a Card Trick by Bill Coomer.

The Effect: You are sitting at a table in a restaurant with a friend. You hand them a deck of cards (in the box) under the table. They remove the deck from the box and lay the box on the table. They cut the deck once, twice, or three times. Then they remove one or two or three cards from the top or the bottom. They hand you the deck (still under the table) and you ask: "how many times did you cut the deck?" They tell you. You cut the deck the same number of times. Then you ask: "how many cards did you take?" and "from the top or bottom?" They tell you. You bring a card or two cards or three cards out from under the table. They lay their cards on the table face up. They have (let's suppose) a three of hearts, a two of spades, and a jack of diamonds. You turn your cards over one at a time. You have a three of diamonds, a two of clubs, and a jack of hearts. Matching in value and color their cards.
