Psychologists can play all sorts of tricks with the cards because people think they know them so well. There's a brilliant one on YouTube where cards appear and disappear and it's set up so you can guess which ones have gone or where the Devil is or summat.I would have said they were Mallory as well - never read 'em but working in a library, you'd have thought I'd have got it right!
Next you'll be telling me it's Bigles and Wiliam Brown!
I read somewhere about some experiment where they'd given people a pack of cards with the colours of the suits reversed, i.e black hearts and diamonds and red spades and clubs and that it disturbed people to the extent that they felt ill, as they knew something was wrong but couldn't quickly see what.
