Card Bet

You will need:

Ordinary deck of cards

Effect:

The spectator selects a card and it is put into the middle of the deck. The cards are then dealt down face up and the spectator's card is found.

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) Start taking cards off the top and putting them down faceup on a table or surface.
 * 7) When you see your key card, the card right after it will be their card.
 * 8) When you see their card, continue putting down cards and act like you didn't see it.
 * 9) At one point, you stop putting down cards and say "the next card you turn over" will be your card. Make sure you don't say "the next card on the deck" or "this card will be your card".
 * 10) The spectator, who already saw their card get put down, will most likely say "yes" and then, you take their card and turn it over.
