Prediction in an Envelope Card Magic Trick

Video Transcript

" Hi everybody! Malik the Magic Guy for expertvillage.com. I’m going to show you another really cool way to use a forced card. We’ll get Mr. Hand over here. And I want to show you guys I have a prediction; and the way you know it’s a prediction is it says so on the envelope: that’s a prediction. Now we’re going to lay that down right here, and it’s in an envelope, and Mr. Hand, what I’d like you to do is cut about half the cards right over there, and pick up the other half, put that on top cross wise. Now you could of cut anywhere in the deck; there’s no way I could know ahead of time which spot you were going to the cards in. Now do you want the top or bottom, top or bottom? Bottom, so we’re going to have you take the top half of the bottom card there, go ahead and show that to the camera, and you can even show it to me, so it’s the 3 of spades. Because I already knew you were going to pick that card, see in the envelope I had a card from another deck, and it happen to be the 3 of spades. That’s another cool way to use a forced card, now I’m going to teach you how to do that in just a few minutes."
