ANY EIGHTEEN CARDS ..  
 If you liked the "Any 9 Cards" self working  
 card trick, carefully follow these instructions
 to double the spectator's visual effectiveness .. 
 regardless of any TWO chosen cards:

 1. Remove the Jokers and have a spectator randomly select two 
    cards from a shuffled deck .. or have two spectators each 
    randomly select one card.
                          
 2. Now have the spectator select 16 random cards from the deck.

 3. Have the spectator place the 1st chosen card "face up" on TOP 
    of the other 16 "face down" cards. For example: TEN OF CLUBS.

 4. Have the spectator place the 2nd chosen card "face up" on the
    BOTTOM of the other 17 cards. For example: QUEEN OF DIAMONDS.

 5. Ask the spectator to spell out the 1st chosen card in 3 words 
    by dealing one card at a time on top of one another. Example:
   "TEN OF CLUBS" then Place the remaining 8 cards on TOP of that 
    pile and square up all 18 cards.

 4. Ask the spectator to spell out the 2nd chosen card in 3 words 
    by dealing one card at a time on top of one another. Example: 
   "QUEEN OF DIAMONDS" then place the remaining 2 cards on TOP of 
    that pile and square up all 18 cards.

 5. Now ask the spectator to spell out the 1st chosen card again 
    as before in 3 words from the pile of 18 cards. Example: "TEN 
    OF CLUBS" then place the remaining 8 cards on top of that pile 
    and square up all 18 cards. 

 6. Finally, ask the spectator to spell out the 2nd chosen card 
    again as before in 3 words from the pile of 18 cards and 
    square up all 18 cards.

 7. Magically, the two chosen "face up" cards will be at the top 
    and bottom of the stack just like the start and this trick is 
    ready to perform again using the same ANY other chosen cards.
