Making a Spectator Select a Card - Version 2

By Wayne Kawamoto, About.com Guide

3 of 4

Take the dealt cards and place them on top of the deck. Again, the force (red) card is now fourth from the top of the deck.

Tell the spectator that to randomize the selection even more, you’re going to add the individual digits of their chosen number. Thus, in our example, the chosen number was "12" which means that you will add 1 + 2 to equal 3. (If the number were "15," you would add 1 + 5, "16," 1 + 6, and so on. )
