A Card to Be Thought About

Impromptu thought card tricks have always been welcome, and the following is one I have found to be very effective. I'll explain it exactly as I have been using it. Effect: The deck is spread out face down and a spectator is as ked to remove three cards and hold them. He is to study them carefully and make a mental choice of one which he is to keep firmly in mind. Squaring up the deck, you have the three cards replaced and give them a shuffle.

Now putting the deck behind your back, you try to locate the thought-of card by drawing one card out and throwing it face up on the table. You are wrong, of course, and explaining that the spectator is not concentrating enough, you fan the deck facing him and ask him to spot his card once more. This time you locate his mentally chosen card without fail.
