52 On 1 Card Prediction (Bicycle Poker)

Description

Here’s a really fun trick to perform. The magician introduces a manila pay envelope and states that inside is a playing card that will show the same playing card that he believes will be chosen in the very near future by one of his spectators. So saying, the performer has a playing card selected from a regular deck. The performer asks the spectator the name of the card they selected. Lets say that the spectator says the card they selected was the Two of Diamonds.

The performer opens the manila pay envelope and removes a playing card with its back to the audience. When the card is turned around to its face side it is seen that a picture of all fifty two cards in the pack are printed out in four rows. “See”, says the magician pointing to the picture of the Two of Diamonds, “I told you that I would correctly predict the card you would select before you selected it!” After the groans from the spectators subside the performer acts surprised that they were not impressed with his prediction and while shaking his head in disbelief he places the 52 on 1 card back into the envelope. But while doing this a regular miniature card falls out of the envelope onto the table, unknown to the magician who is staring straight at the audience and still acting surprised why no one ever finds the previous prediction very impressive.

Then the magician discovers the miniature card on the table and turns it face up to show it actually matches the spectator’s selected card! There are no other miniature cards inside the envelope and it can be examined. If this routine is performed correctly the look on your spectator’s face(s) at this point is worth a million dollars!

You receive the special poker-size Bicycle 52 on 1 card, a few regular different miniature cards (not Bicycle), Manila envelope, and instructions.

Note: The miniature cards you receive may be different than those  pictured.
