Effect 1:

You present the audience with a set of 15 old photos and ask them to intuitively separate the photos into two nearly equal piles, with some dramatic demonstration of the separation and justification of how the audience felt when they were separated. The audience is then asked to call out the names of Helena and Archibald while he/she again divides the cards into two packs, spells out the letters, and deals the cards one by one before putting them all together. Then you take the cards from the spectator and call out Pandora's name while the cards are being dealt, so you have found the dead among the living, and you can also prove that there is no card on the table other than the one in your hand All other cards are blank.

Effect 2:

Suppose you have 15 cards in your hand. Ask participants to divide the cards into 3 packs/piles of 5 cards each, then ask participants to divide the cards evenly according to their intuition (when handing out cards, tell the audience to think of the three piles as the 3 heads of Cerberus, deal should be similar to the character information provided to the three-headed dragon deck.). The audience is then asked to choose any two piles and all the packets/heaps are collected together and done again in the same way as last time. Then you take the cards from the spectator and call out Pandora's name while the cards are being dealt, so you have found the dead among the living, and you can also prove that there is no card on the table other than the one in your hand All other cards are blank.
