by pointing it out.Pick up the pair that they choose
(remembering that the black card is on top)
separate them showing them to everyone with one
card in each hand.When you bring them back together

pare in your hand to scoop up the other 7 pares
one pair at a time in any order.When you have all the cards
in a single stack place them face down on the table.
