Sandwich

You will need:

Ordinary deck of cards

Effect:

The spectator selects a card and it is put into the middle of the deck. You then pull out a pair of soulmates (two cards with the same suit and value) and put them faceup on both sides of the deck. You throw the cards to the other hand and one card is caught between the two cards and it is their card.

Tutorial:


 * 1) Before you begin your trick, look at the bottom card and memorize it. This will be your key card.
 * 2) Have your spectator select a card and have them memorize it.
 * 3) Perform a swing cut (taking a portion of cards at the top and putting it in your other hand).
 * 4) Have them put their card on the top half and put the bottom half on top of their card.
 * 5) You can cut the cards as much as you want as long as your key card isn't on the bottom when you begin the next step.
 * 6) Look through the cards for a pair of soulmates, Make sure that you're the only one who can see your cards, because the soulmates aren't the only thing you're looking for.
 * 7) As you are looking for the two soulmates, you're also looking for your key card, because their card is right below it.
 * 8) When you find your soulmates and your key card, put down the soulmates and cut the cards so that their card is at the bottom.
 * 9) Put the soulmates on both sides of the deck (faceup). Hold their card at the bottom of the deck.
 * 10) Throw all the cards to your other hand, making sure that their card stays in your hand. One card should be sandwiched between the soulmates and it is their card.
