A Masterstroke of Prestidigitation

I discovered a glossy deck of playing cards resting beside a ceramic mug on the low living room coffee table. A true stage magician knows opportunity when she sees it! Positioning myself with impeccable posture, I swept my front hoof forward with theatrical flair, fanning the cards across the dark polished grain in a neat, sweeping arc. With a precise nudge of my muzzle, I flipped the top card upright to reveal a shining King staring back at me. Not a single card tumbled off the edge! The invisible audience may have held their breath, but the Great and Powerful Trixie delivered nothing short of perfection.
