I am not saying its impossible he cut and reordered the trick however knowing people on his creative team, its unlikely.

Uses ACAAN a fair amount, which he couldn't do this way.

As in, does it enhance the trick that much to be worth it?

      ​@@jd0879 You obviously didn't look at the card before the kid grabbed it when David was tapping on it. Magicians indeed use manipulation and subliminal tricks to divert or persuade their audience which you can very verify by a few seconds on Google search. David Blaine can do it because he has an arsenal of card tricks and years of experience to easily switch to another magic trick if someone makes a different choice than anticipated. See what delusional arrogance gets you. So quick to tell someone "stfu" when you're wrong.

    I only watched the first one, but it’s easy to figure out. We didn’t see it, but he transferred a decal on her hand, probably by holding it on the previous illusion. From there it’s just “multiple outs” until he winds up with a Club. Do you want the club for me or her? He actually picked the wrong answer, so David used the “magic transfer” effect.
