Like cards, Chance marks a target to keep track of. The card shark needs to find his fish, after all. Once a target is chosen, he reflectively does a bit of sleight-of-hand, mimicking the motions of applying juice daub onto a card, then it's hook, line and sinker, as images of where the targets are fill his head.
