Ghost Writer

Effect

A freely selected card, inserted face up into the face down deck while all is held behind a spectator's back, is further protected by his wrapping the cards in a handkerchief. The performer shows two slates, puts them together, and the deck in its covering placed on top. After an incantation the pack of cards is unwrapped and spread.

The card below the faced one is shown. The performer slides the slates apart to show its name written on one surface. Then the card above the reversed one is revealed. And the performer shows, written across the surface of the other slate, its name, too!
