The Tossed Out Deck is an extremely popular and possibly the best neo-classical plot in mentalism. For Luke Jermay, this trick is one of the best opening routines for a performance.

The spectator thinks of a number between 1 and 10. The magician count ten cards, and asks the spectator to recall the card that corresponds to his number.
