Fitch Cheney's 5-card trick was introduced in 1950. In 2013, Mulcahy invented
a 4-card trick in which the cards are allowed to be displayed face down. We
suggest our own invention: a 3-card trick in which the cards can be face down
and also allowed to be placed both vertically and horizontally. We discuss the
theory behind all the tricks and estimate the maximum deck size given the
number of chosen cards. We also discuss the cases of hiding several cards and
the deck that has duplicates.
