A new, potentially faster, method to clock a deck of cards.
'Clocking' a deck of cards means applying some kind of counting method to identify one card that has been removed from the deck. The idea is very old and dates back to at least 1708 (Jaques Ozanam's Recreations Mathematical and Physical). Typically one makes two passes through the deck. The first to identify the value of the card, and the second to identify the suit. The key in making this method deceptive is to be very fast in your counting, which is dependent on the details of the counting procedure. Dr. Solka offers a new method, which has the potential to make counting a lot faster. If it is indeed faster will depend on the individual performer, because personal preference plays a big part in such matters. But at the very least you have here a new method that may work much better for you, as it does for Dr. Solka.
