Card Control by Arthur H. Buckley
Page 197 et seq.

Personal Comment: I would do it differently. But this was 40 years before I was even born. So who am i to judge. Reading through Card Control gives me a strange vibe of a bygone era. I like that. The trick is basically another transposition, but a good one, as the audience is involved. About picking the second card... I don't like it. Why is the spectator ask to count down cards on the table? The answer is strictly related to the method. And that should not be. But overall... tweek it here, tweek it there and you got a nice little trick.
