Default If only my magic sunglasses worked all the time?

So I'm getting drunk at my homegame when I decide to "try" and make everyone laugh by putting on a pair of sunglasses and tell everyone that I know what two cards they are holding due to me marking them with a special pen the previous night. At that exact moment I turn and point too my mate's cards on the right and proclaim out loud Ace Six. He turns over Ace six and my question is:

I would like to know the odds of me jagging his two cards.

many thanks

non suited, .012 I think..if you pick 2 different cards
8 in 52 of hitting 1st card .1538
4 in 51 of hitting 2nd card .078

.1538 X .078 = .012 roughly

I could be wrong, but I think that is correct
