EFFECT Four cards are placed on the table. A card is selected and signed. The card on the table reveal the selection and one turns out to be THE selection! PERFORMANCE Openly take out four cards from the deck leaving them face down on the table. Be sure that the spectators do not see the f aces of these cards and be sure they see that there is only four. These cards must be: Any face down ODD, RED SPOT card (say the Five of Hearts); on top of this place any face down ODD, BLACK SPOT card (say the Nine of Spades); on top of these two cards place any face down EVEN, RED OR BLACK SPOT card (say the Four of Diamonds) and on top of these three cards place any face down FACE card (say the Jack of Clubs). Have a card selected, noted, SIGNED ON THE FACE and replaced. Control the signed card on the top. Palm it and upon picking up the four table cards, add the palmed card on top.. Leave the deck aside and take the face card packet face down in the left hand. Say that the four cards placed on the table before the selection are four predictions and they will help find the selected one. While you are pattering, Buckle the bottom card and keep this card separated from the others at the inner short side. Ask if the selected card is black or red. If RED, release the break and slide off the bottom card with the right hand, turning it face up on top of the left hand cards. Show that this card is red, then turn it face down and discard it on top of the deck. If BLACK, slide the SECOND card from the bottom. This is accomplished by performing a Buckle of the bottom card so that the right hand can remove the second from the bottom card by pulling toward you (as shown below). Turn the card face up on top of the packet, then place it face down on top of the deck. The first prediction card was correct. Next, ask if the card was odd or even. If ODD, slide the bottom card off and turn it face up on top of the left hand cards, then turn it face down and deal it onto the deck. If EVEN, slide off the SECOND card from the bottom, turn it face up and then face down on top of the deck. Now ask if the card was a spot or a face card. If a SPOT card, the left thumb slides off the top card into the left hand as the right hand grips the packet from above and retains the other two cards as one. Turn these two cards as one face up onto the left hand card and show a spot card, then turn the two cards face down and place BOTH on top of the deck. If the card was a FACE card, the left thumb slides off the top card into the left hand and the right hand places the remaining two cards as one on top. then turn over the top card of the packet to show a face card. Turn it face down and place the top two cards as one on the deck. Say the fourth card will point out where the selected card is. Ask for the name of the selected card. Surprise! Turn the card over and there it is! Apparently the selected card was place on the table BEFORE it was selected!
