This effect takes a little practice but the result is a very clean and honest prediction!

The magician displays a deck of cards, still in the box, and an envelope containing a prediction. This is all very honest and gives you time to concentrate on your presentation.

A spectator says any number between 1 and 52. Tilting the box, the magician openly gives the spectator the deck by pouring the cards from the box into the Spec's open hand. That's right, you don't touch the cards when handing them to the spectator!

The spectator counts up to the position of their chosen number. That card matches the prediction in the envelope. You can play up the ending anyway you want, because of the efficient method and clean routine.

• Free choosing of any number!
• The magician doesn't even touch the cards!
• No Sleights, no palming, no shuffle, no kidding!
