For this cache, you'll end up doing your own card trick, and the
result will magically take you to the cache location!
You'll need 9 cards. Doesn't matter which 9, as long as they are
all different. Shuffle them thoroughy, so that there can be no
possibility that I stacked them. (That's a joke!)
- Now deal them into three piles of three cards each, face
down.
- Pick a pile. Now pick a card in the pile. Memorize it and place
it face down onto the table. Take the remaining two cards from its
pile and place them face down on top of the card you picked.
- Pick up the entire pile containing the card you picked, and
place it on either one of the other two piles.
- Now pick up the new pile of six cards, and place it on top of
the last remaining three card pile.
Good so far! Now here comes the part you need to do
carefully:
- Holding the entire packet of cards face down, deal out one card
face down for each letter in the value of your card into a
single pile. For example, if you picked a seven, you would
deal 5 cards: S - E - V - E - N. Use the names of the ace or face
cards if you picked one of those.
- When you have finished, place the remainder of the packet in
your hand on top of the cards you just dealt, also face down.
- Now pick up the entire packet as before and deal a card for
each letter of the word of into a pile. That's two cards,
for those who are math-challenged! Once again, replace the balance
of the packet on those cards and pick the whole thing up.
- Now deal one card for each letter of the suit of the
card you picked (hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs) into a pile
and place the balance of the packet face-down on top of them.
- Finally, turn the cards over one at a time, starting from the
top, until you see your card. Count the cards as you do
so.
x is the number at which your card was located. Insert
x into the following co-ordinates. The cache coordinates
are:
N 52
(x-x)(x+2).(x)(x+1)(x-2)
W 106
(x-2)(x+1).(x-x)(x+1)(x+3)
Good Luck!
