Exchange decks with the spectator. Resting the deck in front of you, cut the top half of the deck and rest it to your right. Take the top card of the remaining half (on your left) and tell the spectator to remember this card. Actually, you’ll ignore this card. You only need to remember that bottom card from the prior step.

Of course, you don’t see the spectator’s card, nor should the spectator or anyone in the audience see your card.

Rest the card on top of the right-hand portion of cards. Complete the cut by taking the left-hand half of the deck and resting it on the right-hand half. The card that you memorized is now sitting on top of the spectator’s card.

Cut the deck.
