They then slice it into two piles, like a pro. Next, they're asked to think of a card—any card—and keep it to themselves, obviously. The magician has a quick shifty at the cards, then places a few on top. The deck is cut again, and the magician gets another sneaky look before adding more cards. Rinse and repeat, because why not? After a bit of banter, the spectator is invited to deal the cards face down and stop whenever they fancy (no pressure). When they flip over the top card, surprise, it’s the one they were thinking of! And just when they thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous, the entire deck is revealed to be BLANK! Yes, really. It’s then passed around for examination (good luck explaining that one). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIBM Close Up champion and 4F Guest of Honour, Stephen Bargatze, serves up yet another classic effect.
