Effect:

One of six cards is selected from the magician. It is then

counted off and placed into the middle of the deck. Spectator tells

magician when the pile is large enough, he then holds cards.

Magician slaps cards from his hand and only one remaining is the

chosen card.

 

1: Select seven cards from the top of the deck, it does not matter

what they are. Spread the card with only six of them showing

with the remaining seventh card hidden behind and slightly lower

than the others.

 

2: Have a spectator select a card and replace it into the pack

while you still have them spread.

3: After he has done this count from the right what number his

card is from the end. Then quickly close the spread and count

that number of cards down onto the table.

4: Then place the counted cards into the centre of the deck and

place the remaining cards on top of the deck. If this is performed

correctly then the chosen card will actually be on top of the deck.

5: Begin dealing the cards from the deck onto the table one by

one, and allow the spectator to decide when you stop. After he

does so pick up the pile on the table and place it between two of

his fingers (preferably slightly bent so that he holds the cards at

the second knuckle).

6: Tell him to hold on tight. Slap down on the cards several times

or until only one card is remaining. The only card he will be

holding is the card he previously selected.
