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 count out 12 cards in each of the three piles no matter whether or not you deal an Ace. this is not the Ace spread, so Aces don't count this time!

After the cards are dealt, you read upright or reversed cards for the yes/no answer.

Three upright means: yes.

Two upright means: most likely.

One upright means: slim chance.

No upright means: no.
(all reversed or upside down)
