Effect
David asks a spectator to select a card as he quickly riffles through the deck. He then asks the spectator to shuffle the deck and afterwards to find the card which he chose. The spectator is unable to find his card on the deck and David Blaine reaches into the spectators pocket and produces the king of clubs which will be the card that the spectator selected.
The Secret as to How to Perform This Incredible Card Trick:
In the video above, David Blaine forces the Queen of Spades on the spectator but in our example we’ll use the King of clubs.
You will need to secretly plant the King of clubs into the spectators pocket at some point before you perform this trick. Also you will need to prearrange the deck as follows: Place all face cards except of course (a) the King of clubs (which you have already hidden on the spectator) and (b) the King of spades, to the rear of the deck. To the front of the deck (as it faces the spectator) you need to put the spades, the 10 spades at the front. Behind the 10 put a few hearts and diamonds excluding aces or face cards then the following cards in this order: 10 of clubs, 9 clubs, 8 clubs, King of spades, 7 clubs, 6 of clubs, 5 of clubs, 4 of clubs, 3 clubs, 2 clubs and finally the ace of clubs. Then put the rest of the red cards followed by the face cards.
