He is recalling a sequence he's memorized well in advance. The deck was prearranged and he never shuffles it. It was just cut a couple times, by taking the top of the deck and putting it on the bottom. When he takes that last look, he's not memorizing the cards, he only has to look at the first card to see where to start the sequence.
