The magician casually spreads a deck of cards face-up, showing that they are well shuffled. He then squares them up and turns the deck face-down. After pointing out the fact that each card in the deck has been numbered, in order, from 1 to 52 he announces that he will think of a card and states what it is, for example the Two of Hearts. After he has committed to this card, he asks a spectator to just think of any number between 1 and 52 and then call it out loud. The magician deals down to that position in the deck to find the Two of Hearts!

Comments

This is an improved version of the phil deck. I really liked this, because the deck is numbered you have the perfect excuse for a different deck. It truly requires no sleights and while the spec does get a look at the face of the cards and sees clearly they are different, whatever number card he chooses will be the one that the magician predicts. All it needs is a bit of imagination on how you want to reveal that prediction.

A winner. :)

It's not, though it is Poker size but it matters not a jot as because every card is numbered on the back it is only used for this one trick and no one would think anything when you put it away and pull out your Bikes.
