Hands Off
The magician takes it easy in this trick. The spectator chooses a card, returns it to the deck and mixes the cards. Without ever touching the pack, the magician reveals the chosen card.
Method: Ask the spectator to remove eight cards from the top of the deck. Tell him to mix the eight cards and choose one.
After the spectator notes the chosen card, he replaces it on top of the deck. Then he places the remainder of the eight-card packet on the deck. At this point the chosen card is eighth from the top of the deck.
Have him cut off about a third of the deck. The exact number of cards is not important as long as the packet contains more than ten cards.
The spectator holds the cut-off packet in his hand. With his other hand he places the top card of the packet under the packet. Then he places the next card on the table.
He places the next card under the packet. Then he places the next card on top of the card that is on the table. He continues this way, dealing under-down-under-down, until all of the cards have been dealt down onto the heap on the table.
Ask him to spread the packet face up on the table. When you look at the faces of the cards, note the card that lies fourth from the face. It is shown by the arrow in the example of Figure 1. This is the chosen card.
Do not reveal it yet. Close your eyes, pretend to receive mystic vibrations from the deck, then reveal the color, suit and value of the chosen card. In the example of Figure 1 you would say, Your card is red, a heart. Yes, I can see it clearly, the eight of hearts.

Infallible
Prediction tricks hint that the magician can see the future. To demonstrate this, the spectator mixes face-up and face-down cards together. Then he divides the cards into two heaps. Each heap contains some face-up cards and some face-down cards.
Taking one heap behind his back, the magician makes an adjustment so that the number of face-up cards in his heap correctly predicts the number of face-up cards in the spectator’s heap.
Method: Remove any 20 cards from the deck. Place ten cards face down on the table. Turn the other ten cards face up. Mix the groups together. Make sure face-up cards and face-down cards are well mixed.
Hand the 20-card packet to the spectator. Ask him to mix the cards further. Make sure the spectator does not turn any cards over when he mixes them.
Have him deal ten cards off the top into a heap on the table. Turn your back while he does this. Take the remaining ten cards from
