THE EFFECT
The performer borrows a deck of cards and has the spectator thoroughly shuffle the deck. The performer then makes a prediction by placing a single playing card face up on the table so its face can be seen right from the start of the effect. Let's say it's the Five of Clubs.
The deck is then handed face down to the spectator, who is instructed to start dealing cards from the top of the deck onto the table by turning each card face up.
At any time, the spectator can stop on any card and, without turning it over, deals it face down on the table. The spectator places it next to the face-up prediction made moments ago.
The spectator may now keep dealing cards face up, if they desire, to prove there are no duplicates.
When the face-down card dealt by the spectator is flipped over, it is seen to be the exact mate of the face-up predicted card: the Five of Spades - perfect!!
The deck is now handed back. It's normal. Nothing was added or taken away, and the trick can be repeated instantly!
Read all of that again because every word is a true description of The Open Prediction by Matt Johnson!
