However, four blank cards that represent the magician's fleeting thoughts will materialize into each of the cards in the quadfecta in their order of arrival!

The spectator shuffles the deck, picks a card, loses it by himself into the deck, and immediately shuffles the deck again. He performs all these actions while the magician's back is turned. Despite these extreme laboratory conditions, the magician not only finds the chosen card, but also shows that he had predicted it in advance. Easy to do.

An atypical and very festive trick! My first inspiration for this trick comes from a great trick called "La savonnette", but which used a gaffed card and didn't end up very clean at the end... I thought about it for a while and I finally found this version, which not only allows you to create a very fun moment with your audience, but which is also quite tricky: the deck is shuffled at the beginning by the spectator, there is no duplicate, the elimination is progressive and very visual... In short, a beautiful baby! Have fun!  

Basic Technique: You ask the spectator to choose a card, but you oblige them to pick the one already pre-selected by you. The Cross Cut Force is one of the easiest forcing methods; it does not require any manipulation.
