Effect

The performer shows a piece of white tissue paper to be blank on both sides. It is held at the fingertips, with the hands otherwise empty, and rolled into a ball. This is tossed into a glass on the table. A spectator is now invited to choose a card from a well shuffled pack. When the performer opens the paper ball, the name of the card is revealed in large black letters across the paper.
