Shuffle the cards in your usual manner. Then cut the cards with your left hand into three piles. Shuffle each pile and then put them back into one pile in any order you wish.

You then count up to 12 or until you get an Ace in each pile.

For instance, your first pile could be 12 cards, then your next pile could be 12 cards and your third could be 3 because your third card was an Ace.

You can have 3 piles of 12 cards or even three piles of one card each, if all three cards are Aces.

Aces indicate a "yes" to your question.

Three Aces indicates a: definite yes.

Two Aces indicates a: most likely.

One Ace indicates a: slim chance.

No Aces indicates a: no.
