This a great self working card trick that only requires a small bit of misdirection. It's great to do with kids, or adults. I've never been caught while doing this trick. It's easy to learn, and easy to teach, if you so choose. And the great part is that you really embellish this trick with all kinds of wonderful patter if you like that sort of thing.
Here's the fundamental trick, as it seems to your spectators. You hold a ordinary deck of cards, and fan it out, like they would think. Then you tell them to select a card, any card. They select card, and you tell them to study it delicately, and show it to their friends. After they put it back in the deck, you puzzlingly pluck it right out. They will be staggered, and think you have powerful supernatural powers.
Here's how to do the caper. While they are busily learning their card, you separate the deck, and produce a place for them to situate their card. All you need to do is take a speedy peak at the card that you will place on top of theirs. Just remember this card, and once they place there's in the deck, you'll know exactly what card comes after. There are numerous ways to disclose this trick.
The most noticeable way is to simply make believe you are reading their mind while searching through the cards. Then when you get to there's (which is next to the one you peaked at), you just pull it out. This alone will worth the price of admission. But hang around, there's more.
You can search through the deck, pretending to look for it. Once you get to there card, part and re stack the deck so their card is on top. Then place the deck face down on a table, say some magical words, tap the top, and there card will be on top. But hang on, that's not all, there's one more commanding reveal.
Once you have their card on top, place the deck behind your back, or under the table. Then rapidly take their card out, flip it over, and place it back in the deck, so it's facing the contrary direction of all the other cards. Then make believe that you can't guess their card, and get them to tell you which one it was. Then merely look through the deck, now with the cards face up, and there's will be the only card that is face down. This is only a few ways to reveal their card, I'm sure you can consider of many others. The more you can talk up your psychic powers of deduction before this trick, the better. You'll have a stunned audience in no time, wanting to see more tricks. Have fun with this.
