Since he’s a bit superstitious, the magician shows his lucky charm: it’s a card he’s folded into quarters and held together with a clothespin. A card is freely chosen, signed, and lost in the deck using various shuffling methods from different countries. He finishes with the Chinese shuffle, which mixes the cards haphazardly, face up and face down. All the cards mysteriously end up facing the same way, except for one; when the spectator names their card, the magician reveals the face of the card on which “Exact” is written! He ends with a mind-blowing climax: the chosen card turns out to be the folded card that was stuck in the clothespin—and which had been in plain sight since the beginning of the trick!
