Handling Once the spectator names the thought of card out loud, the card is removed from the deck and handed to the spectator. The card behind the selected card is the prediction card. | The prediction card is cut to the top of the deck. | The prediction card is palmed off the top of the deck and loaded into the wallet or envelope. The remaining cards are put back in the card case and pocketed. | Routine Ask a spectator to choose either red or black. When the color is announced take out the deck which contains the 26 cards of that color. As the deck becomes visible and is taken out of its case, ask the spectator to choose, depending on the color named, either Hearts or Diamonds, or Clubs or Spades. Now ask the spectator to think of any card of that suit and when he has thought of it to name it out loud. Fan the deck, remove that card and hand it to the spectator. How the deck is handled in removing the thought of card depends on whether the prediction is on the face or back of the cards. If it is on the face, just fan the deck toward yourself, find the chosen card and remove it from the deck. If it is on the back, fan the deck toward the spectators, find the chosen card and remove it. Cut the deck at the point where the selected card was removed and complete the cut. The prediction card is now the top card of the deck. At this point the need for a sleight arrives. The cleanest although not necessarily easiest sleight is to palm the top card and go straight into your jacket to load it into a wallet or envelope.
