Perform the trick by labelling the cards:
\(\fbox{\(\vphantom{\text{A}}\text{1}\)}\ \) \(\fbox{\(\vphantom{\text{A}}\text{2}\)}\ \) \(\fbox{\(\vphantom{\text{A}}\text{3}\)}\ \) \(\fbox{\(\vphantom{\text{A}}\text{4}\)}\ \) \(\fbox{\(\vphantom{\text{A}}\text{5}\)}\ \)
How will this help you determine the answer?
Tip: Complete the steps with numbered cards, then substitute the number order for the letter order \(\text{A}\,\text{B}\,\text{C}\,\text{D}\,\text{E}\) then you can determine the card's starting order.
