"I’m Joe Marshall with expertvillage.com and today we are going to learn how to predict the future. The explanation for this and the things you will need, you will need the two deck of cards and an envelope, everything is unprepared and you just have to get the props. What you are going to want to do is you are going to want to go through and find the nine of hearts, it could be any card, we are going to use the nine of hearts, any card you want to predict really and you do this, so they cannot see it, you remove the nine of hearts make sure, no one has seen you, place the card in the envelope okay and you set it aside so that no one can look at it and on this the only setup, you will need is the card that you put in the envelope, you are going to want that card on top of the deck and the other deck, so that is all you need to do. So you can do a shuffle, and when you shuffle make sure that that card stays on top and then you place it down on the table, you tell them to cut it anywhere, they cut and tell them that you are going to mark their cut by placing the envelope on top and putting the other there and then you recap what has happened, you remove the random card from the pack, place it in the envelope and shuffle the pack of cards, have them cut it to any card that they want and you just tell them to lift up the envelope and look at the card they cut to and if they cut to the nine of hearts and of course it is going to match. Tell them to open the envelope and it will match the card you put in there and the way that works is just they forget that this is actually the top portion of the deck, they think this is the actual portion that they cut to, it is a time delayed misdirection force and it works great.
