Script:

Ok, I'll show you something interesting with a deck of cards, but you have to be able to remember two cards. But I'll make it easy for you.

One of them is the queen of hearts. And the other one is the ace of spades.

And I need a glass, because the ace goes under the glass and the queen goes on top. And the deck goes on top of everything.

With the ace, the queen and the deck. And with just a riffle, the ace is on top and the queen of heart is all the way under the glass.

Card College Vol 2
The Elmsley Count Project by Liam Montier & Big Blind Media

Counting four cards as four but hiding the third card from the top by displaying one card twice. At the end of the count, the hidden card ends up in the fourth position from the top.

Can also be used to count five cards as four. In this case, the third and fourth cards from the top are the hidden cards.

The Jordan count works well with the Elmsley count since the card hidden in the Elmsley count end up on the bottom of the packet.

With R hand, pick up second coin and place it on the palm of left hand and but also secretly drop the second coin. Immediately close hand. With R hand pick up last coin pretend to put it in pocket but actually finger palm it. Ask how many coins in left hand. Reveal three coins.

2) With R hand pick up coin and put on palm of left hand. With R hand pick up second coin and place it on the palm of left hand. Pretend to pass the two coins into the right hand but actually only one coin is thrown over while the other stays in the left hand in finger palm position. Show two coins in the right hand. With your left hand closed, push the two coins in the R hand into the left via the space between the index finger and thumb. Then with R hand pick the coin of the table and actually put it in your pocket.  Ask how many coins in left hand, reveal three.

3) Pick up two coins in the R hand. Show them in the palm of hand and ask how many coins. Do a false transfer into the left hand (retaining all three in the right hand) and ask how many coins. Pick up the third coin with the right hand. Say "and the third goes into my pocket" as you actually place all three coins into your pocket. Ask "how many coins are in my hand? Reveal they are all gone.
