6
list must come from hand ? 5-card hands (no order) 4-card lists (ordered) Which one to pick? Match hands with 4-Card lists
7

The graph satisfies Hall’s theorem so there is a match that magician and assistant can use even works for bigger decks Hall ’ s Theorem

hands to match to lists How will magician & assistant learn them? A Memorable Matching?

Among 5 cards chosen: at least 2 have the same suit (Pigeonhole Principle) Assistant lists one of them 1 st Aha! The first card has the same suit as the hidden card! Magic Trick Revealed (I)
