The magician sets one card aside, saying that “this card doesn't exist... or almost doesn't”. Then he displays two small packets, saying that he has foreseen in advance what the spectator will choose; the spectator points to one packet, and the magician shows that it is made up of a four of a kind in sevens... but the other packet is made up of 7 cards! He reunites the packets, and there are now only 8 cards: the four sevens... and four Aces! He then adds the card that doesn't exist... and indeed, it disappears! Everything is handed out for examination. To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

A card is first placed in a spectator's hand. Another spectator chooses a card, which is clearly placed back in the middle of the deck.

And when the first spectator turns over her card, it's now the one that was in the middle of the deck, while the latter has turned into the chosen card!

The magician shows two blank cards, on which are handwritten the names of two cards: 5 of Diamonds and 6 of Clubs; this constitutes a kind of "Open Prediction" with two cards. One card from the deck is chosen by the spectator. It's face down, and nobody knows it yet. The magician gives himself 4 possibilities of having predicted the chosen card with his two prediction cards: it could therefore be a 5 or a 6 for value, and Diamonds or Clubs for suit. The chosen card is turned over: nothing to see, since it's the 4 of Hearts! The magician is dismayed, and turns over the two written cards on the table: they are both 4 de Hearts!
