I can't find your quote in the article. Instead I find

> pass round the cards allowing the audience to cut the deck, thus not altering the cyclic order.

That sentence is vague. The author means that first each person cuts and then, with no further cutting, each person takes a card. If an extra cut occurs between the takings of cards, the truck fails.
