2. Place rest of the pack facedown on a table.
3. Tell them 4 Jacks went to rob a house, and place the 4 jacks concealing the cards behind on top of the rest of the pack (which represents the house).
4. Say the first went to the cellar, and place the top card at the bottom of the pack not showing the audience. Remember, the card is not really a jack it is one of the concealed cards.

6. 3rd to the middle, 4th to top. Place them in their places in the pack.
