I said. "I can prove it to you, too." "Ridiculous. You can't prove a negative." "Well, in a manner of speaking. What I can do is show you how the card trick was worked." I had her hooked. "You mean it? It really _was_ a trick after all?" she said, slumping. "It sure wasn't PC," I said. "Let me show you." "At the lab," Shari said. "I'll be there in ten minutes." A couple graduate students were there, fooling around with Rhine cards when we arrived, and Shari chased them out without ceremony. She locked the door behind them. We were to have privacy. She didn't bother with her lab coat this time. "Show me," she insisted. "The apparatus, Shari," I grinned. She gave me a deck of cards, and pulled out the two of hearts and two of spades. "We'll do it face-up," I said. "So you can see how it's done!" I laid the two cards side by side on her blotter, face up. "Now put a finger on each one." I directed. "And watch them like a hawk. What card is under your right forefinger?" "Heart," Shari said. AID NOTHING ELSE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT HER EAR NOT PROVED IT BEFORE I LEFT I SAID I CAN PROVE IT TO YOU TOO RIDICULOUS YOU CAN'T PROVE A NEGATIVE WELL IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING WHAT I CAN DO IS SHOW YOU HOW THE CARD TRICK WAS WORKED I HAD HER HOOKED YOU MEAN IT IT REALLY WAS A TRICK AFTER ALL SHE SAID SLUMPING IT SURE WASN'T P C I SAID LET ME SHOW YOU AT THE LAP SHERRY SAID I'LL BE THERE IN TEN MINUTES A COUPLE GRADUATE STUDENTS WERE THERE FOOLING AROUND WITH RHINE CARDS WHEN WE ARRIVED AND SHERRY CHASED THEM OUT WITHOUT CEREMONY SHE LOCKED THE DOOR BEHIND THEM WE WERE TO HAVE PRIVACY SHE DIDN'T BOTHER WITH HER LABCOAT THIS TIME SHOW ME SHE INSISTED THE APPARATUS SHERRY I GRINNED SHE GAVE ME A DECK OF CARDS AND PULLED OUT THE TWO OF HEARTS AND TWO OF SPADES WE'LL DO IT FACE UP I SAID SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S DONE I LAID THE TWO CARDS SIDE BY SIDE ON HER BLODDER FACE UP NOW PUT A FINGER ON EACH ONE I DIRECTED AND WATCH THEM LIKE A HAWK WHAT CARD IS UNDER YOUR RIGHT FOREFINGER HEART SHERRY SAID
