I Thought That Was Your Card

Original Author: Unknown

Effect: A person picks a card. You look through the deck, rearrange it, and show bottom card. They say that isn't card so you put it on the table. You look through the deck again and find an upside down card. You show it, but it still isn't the card. Then you go back to card already on table and flip it up. It has changed to the card.
