Correlation measurements with respect to the spectator and participant planes in relativistic heavy ion collisions were proposed to extract the chiral magnetic effect (CME) from background dominated azimuthal correlators. Here, this paper investigates the effects of two- and three-particle nonflow correlations on the extracted CME signal fraction, f_CME. It is found, guided by a multiphase transport (ampt) model and the heavy ion jet interaction generator (hijing) together with experimental data, that the nonflow effects amount to approximately (4 ± 5)% and (–5 ± 3)% without and with pseudorapidity gaps, respectively, in 20–50% centrality Au + Au collisions at √^sNN = 200 GeV.
