THE WITNESS By YANKEE TOM

The Effect
There has been a murder in Cardopolis; the Joker has been hit, found with a
single bullet hole in him. There was, however, a witness to the crime…1
out of 52. One card can identify the hitman.



The spectator instinctively "chooses" a card from the
deck and quickly identifies it as the witness. They alone see the card and secretly
write its name down on a piece of paper and immediately sealing it in an envelope.
The magician openly pockets the envelope for safekeeping. The deck is thoroughly
shuffled.



The Magician (who has not seen the card) and the spectator now search
the deck, looking for the witness only to find they are gone. The whole deck
is searched again and again; even counted. There are only 51 cards!



Finally the spectator is handed a small envelope marked 'Witness Relocation
Program'. The spectator opens the envelope and pulls the contents out
just enough to have a peek. They identify the card inside as the missing witness.
It matches the name of the card found in their own handwriting within the sealed
envelope, but it's too late. When they slide the missing card the rest of the
way out of the W.R.P. envelope… a single bullet hole is found in the
witness!



This is a great crowd pleaser or one on one trick. The magician never hides
the deck or makes any funny moves. Only one basic, super-easy force is needed.
The spectator watches the entire trick unfold before them, step by step. The
card they saw is simply GONE. It is so clean it seems a miracle!
