Thanks to the anonymous person

who sent me an Excel spreadsheet demonstrating this trick.

I was impressed by the originality of the application. I'd never tried to do anything like this in Excel, although it was done very simply.

I decided to see how it could be implemented in HTML without any fancy programming at all. The card trick comes out at about 50Kb of files compared with 380Kb in Excel.

I still don't understand how the magic works <BIG GRIN>
