Nice Yannick, this one still fries laymen. I forgot how good of an impromptu trick or is

A variation is to have the selected card controlled second from top, then flip over top card, get break under the selection, pick up face down selection with face up top card and use both to turn over next card (was the third card), do the same with two more cards. You have now shown a pack of four cards the selection is not among them. In fact the selection is the fourth card down in the pack and is face up. Do an Elmsely Count and the selected card with be the bottom card of the packet and face up. After the Slap the selected card will be face up!

Hard to follow in my head, but grabbing a 5 card packet! I think this is a superior closer! Great tip oh wise one!

I taught mt sisters a variation of this where they divine the card by having their spectators wave their hand over the cards spread out on a table. Theres nothing to think about so the whole trick is presentation. The bigger you play it up the better it goes over and honestly, with all the slights, flourishes, secret methods, gaffs and everything else I've learned, this one little trick still goes over as a miracle to the audience.

I vowed to never do this trick because everyone that I have ever met that's what to jail or prison does this trick I actually called it the Prison card trick
