Any Card Any Place In The Pack Trick
Amazing mind reading stunt. This will blow their socks off !!
Effect: A member of your audience is asked to think of a card, not touching it or removing it from the deck as you slowly spread out the deck of cards face up facing them. After a short while, ask them if they have chosen a card. If yes, ask them to memorize it. The pack is then put back together and given a couple of cuts.
Reminding the audience member that you have no idea what the chosen card is, you then fan the deck out in front of them and ask them if they see their card. This is all the info you need to put the deck back together and turn up each card, one by one until miraculously revealing their card
This is a very powerful effect as there is no touching of the card by the spectator and their card remains in the deck at all times, unlike other card guessing routines which require the removal of the card.
The beauty of this trick is that it can be done in an informal and almost amateur manner. This can be further reinforced by keeping fancy cuts and shuffles to a minimum to keep the focus on the fact that this is a mind reading trick.
