Simple But Powerful Self-Working Card Trick! (Absolute Math Magic 💎)

This is very clever. Jack Diamonds, confidential informant, , does it again. This would, of course, also work with the Jack of Hearts, the King of Diamonds, or the King of Hearts as the helper card, I had to chuckle when I thought about the "justification" for pushing off the cards in pairs until they say stop, i.e., "We actually need an even number of cards for this effect because we'll be dealing out the cards into two piles." As it turns out, because of the adding of the random selection to the bottom, there ends up being an odd number of cards in the packet when we do the dealing, and we are left with two uneven piles (the pile with the odd number being the one we know to discard). However, this discrepancy is sure to fly by the most astute of observers.

Brilliant idea to use the word length to hide the necessary information in plain sight.

Note: After the LR deal, the spectators are even allowed to shuffle the two piles to their hearts' content, ruling out thoughts about a possible setup stack.
