The authors analyze the card trick known as the ``Kruskal Count'' and show that it is a homogeneous absorbing Markov chain. They find the corresponding transition matrix and give a closed form expression of its characteristic polynomial which allows to calculate the eigenvalues in special cases by simple numerical procedures. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0872.00022].
