Effect: Illusionist riffles through the deck, and asks the spectator to say "stop" before reaching the end of the deck. Spectator takes the card from the remaining cards, and remembers it. Illusionist takes the card, replaces it on the top of the deck, and then cuts the deck a few times. Then, the illusioninst takes a few cards from the bottom and counts them down, placing each counted card face up. The spectator will notice that his card is among those dealt to the table. Suddenly the illusionist stops counting, and says: "Do you believe that the next card I turn over, will be your card???" The spectator replies "no", since he saw his card dealt already, and there is no way his card is next. The illusionist then reaches over to the table, takes the chosen card, and turns it over!
Secret: After shuffling the deck, take a sneak peek at the bottom card, and remember what it is. When the spectator chose his card, take it and place it on top of the deck, or have them place it on top. Now, when you cut the deck, the card you secretly remembered will be lying on top of the spectator’s card.
Cut the deck a few more times. You can even let the spectator cut it. Turn the cards over, and find the spectator’s card. It will be the one lying on top of the secret card. When I say "on top", I mean that if you are looking at the faces of the cards (which you should be doing, since you are looking for the spectator’s card), you will see the spectator’s card BEFORE you see the secret card.
If the bottom card (The first one you see when looking) is the secret card, then either to last card in the deck will be the spectator’s card, or your trick went wrong. Be carefull not to cut the deck too many times. Once you find the spectator’s card, count about 5 or 6 more cards, and put the rest down.
Since you now know which card the spectator chose, the rest is simple. Deal all the cards one-by-one from the top (face down) until you deal the spectator’s card. Try to make sure that the spectator see’s you dealing his card, and then deal 3 or 4 more cards. You should have at least 3 or 4 cards still in your hands.
Now, ask the spectator the big question, and when they say "No" (which they should, since they saw you pass their card), reach into the dealt cards, grab the spectator’s card, and turn it over. Voila!!!
