Probably millions of reviews for this - :P - but just my two pence.

The Effect
Vic...ah, spectator names a card. You look through the deck. There's one card face down - it's his!

Cost
£6.99 at magictricks.co.uk in Bikes.

Difficulty
2 - 3 (I'd call it careful handling)
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

Review
I think that the idea is excellent. However, the r****ing is simply not strong enough for me. If you don't handle the deck very carefully, with exactly the right amount of pressure, the - well, without giving away the secret, it's painfully obvious to the spectator what's going on. However, with enough practice you should get pretty good at it. Personally, I like to ask what their card is, then put the deck behind my back and pretend to turn over one card. I then fan the deck and the card they named is face down!


Overall
4/5 - it lost the point for the r****ing wearing off too easily.
