- Slickly lick your thumb and press it down firmly onto the center of the card.
- Lift your hand up and the card will stick to your thumb.
- Lower your thumb over top of the next card so that all of the edges are flush with the card on your thumb.

- Continue repeating this process methodically until you have picked up all of the cards and they have attached themselves to that first card on your thumb.
