MY UNCLE'S CARD TRICK

A hands-off, self-working card miracle inspired by Kanter's "Influence Card Divination." Here's the effect: While your back is turned, a spectator divides a deck he shuffled into two halves. He then selects a card from either half, remembers it, and buries it in the other half, before re-assembling the pack. You turn back around and to ensure his card is completely lost, you let him give the deck a cut or two. You now pick up the cards and fan the faces toward him – running your fingers along the top edges you dramatically stop on and withdraw one card – IT IS THE SPECTATOR’S ORIGINAL SELECTION! Now get this, a deck you can make up in about 20 minutes with an inexpensive art tool, does all the work! There are no set-ups, no sleights, no guesswork, no pumping, nor is anything written down. In fact, there’s nothing you even have to remember, so you are free to concentrate entirely on your presentation. Plus, we even supply optional comedy patter if you want to play it for laughs. 8 pages, photo-illustrated.
