As you do so, memorise the secret markings on the cards at the top of both piles. Now turn your back to the spectator and ask them to choose a random card from one of the piles, memorise it, and place it back on top of the same pile. Then ask them to place the second pile on top of the chosen card. This ensures that the spectator\u2019s card is directly above the card whose mark you know. Take the whole deck in your hand and begin laying the cards out one by one on the table, paying attention to the marks you have memorised. When you find the card you memorised on top of the second pile, you can be sure that the spectator\u2019s card lies directly beneath it. At this point, you can dramatically pull it out and show that you have managed to find the chosen card in a magical way. Although the trick requires a bit of practice and discretion in observing the marks, its effect makes a big impression on the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you watch this video, have a look at the instructions or read the description below \u2014 they contain the secrets that will help you master the trick.
