You remove the deck while seated at a table across from a spectator. You turn the deck face up and show that the cards are well mixed. Now you cut the deck in about half and sit down the cards in two piles, face down. You give one half to the spectator to mix in any way he/she wishes. You do the same with the other half. Both of you return the cards to the table. An envelope is produced which you state has a prediction inside. It is laid to one side on the table never to be touched by you again. Now you ask the spectator to point to one of the two piles. A pile is now removed by you by picking it up. The spectator is ask to cut the remaining pile in half again and that is done and he selects a pile to be removed which you do. Note that whichever pile he selects you do the same thing each time and never change which pile is removed. Always the same! This goes on until only one card remains. Remember that the removed cards have been picked up by you and now are held except that one remaining card. The spectator made ALL the choices. You turn over the cards in your hand that were removed from the table and state that any of these cards might have been left behind by him, but were not! He turns over that last card and then HE opens the envelope and removes the prediction. IT is the only paper inside the envelope. The card listed on the prediction IS that final card he left on the table.

Here is another routine the deck may be use for:

Show the deck as in the routine above. Fan the deck and have a card chosen. You have just forced a card!

Those are just two routines you can do with the deck.

Is it just a regular deck? NO! Can it be handled by the spectator? Only under your instructions!
