One of the most common techniques used in card magic to show four identical cards when you only have one. Essential!  

A card is chosen and lost under laboratory conditions. Without asking any questions, the magician places the cards one by one on the table, while the spectator mentally spells out the name of his card; the magician senses when the spectator reaches the last letter and stops right then! And when he turns over the card he’s holding, it’s the spectator’s card! A true miracle! Everything is handed out for examination! To buy a regular deck of cards click here.  

Basis techniques. The Riffle Shuffle is a common technique used to mix the cards by splitting the deck into two halves and interleaved them.
