In this trick there were 3 piles of 3 cards. When you pick a pile and look at the bottom number, the piles are then stacked on top of each other with the chosen pile on top, making the card you saw number 3 in the stack of 9 cards. Whichever card you say, (Truth or Lie) The cards will be counted 10-15 times, always putting your card number 5 in the stack. So when M-A-G-I-C is spelled, your card will be shown on "C". For example: you said that the card was 4 of Hearts. Your card is the 3rd in the stack. When F-O-U-R is spelled your card will be the 7th in the stack. When O-F is spelled your card will be the 5th in the stack. When H-E-A-R-T-S is spelled your card will be the 5th again. Therefore, as said: when M-A-G-I-C is spelled, your card will be shown on "C".
