Effect
The performer hands a pack of cards to the spectator with the request that he fan it and choose one card mentally. He is then given a slip on which to write the name of the card. This slip is burned and the mentalist picks up the deck, fans it, draws out a card and lays it on the table. The mentally selected card is named, and the one on the table is turned face up and found to be it!
How it is done
The method and all it needs, inside the library.
