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! Everything is handed out for examination. To buy: - a regular deck of cards click here. - some single blank back card click here.
