I've just got hold of this trick and after opening the package was able to perform it confidently about 5 minutes later.

The spectator is given an ID of cards (not to be confused with 'The Invible Deck'), told to shuffle them and then split them in to 2 piles. Reds in one hand and blacks in the other. Spectator then throws away one hand leaving either blacks or reds. Spectator then splits these in to 2 suits, again one in each hand then throws one hand away leaving 13 invisible cards in their hand. He then throws all the cards in his hand up in to the air catching one of them and is then asked by the magi what single card he is holding. The magi then opens the deck of bicycle cards to reveal that the card he has chosen has miraculously appeared face up in the pack. When the pack is turned over the rest of the cards are shown to all be blank.

This is such an easy trick to do and only contains one force which a child of 3 could do.
The real kicker is when you turn the pack over to reveal that all the other cards in the pack are blank. Cards can even be ribbon spread in front of the spectator. I was literally using this one confidently within minutes of opening the pack.

I'm gonna score this one 9/10 only losing one point for the fact that the pack cannot be examined.

You all need to get this one as soon as possible.
