Effect: The magician asks a spectator to pick a card
out of the deck. He shuffles the cards. Then, counting from
the bottom of the deck, he spells out the spectator's card
without even knowing what it is. On the last card, he reveals
it to be the spectator's card.
Card Trick:
The only two sleights used in this trick are the false
shuffle and the glide. When the spectator returns his card,
shuffle it to the bottom of the deck. Then give it a false
shuffle. Bang the edge of the cards on the edge of the table,
supposedly squaring the cards up, but really glimpsing the
spectator's card. Then execute the glide. Say the spectator's
card was the seven of diamonds. Begin to spell it, saying you
are picking up vibes. One card per letter, pulling out the
cards immediately above the bottom card. Then, on the last
letter, the "s" in this case, pull out the spectator's card.
This'll knock their socks off
