The magician opens a small envelope and shows that there is a card inside: it is his prediction card. The envelope is closed and left in full view. A card is freely chosen, and is lost in the deck. The magician takes the envelope again, and the prediction card magically goes through the envelope! The envelope is opened, it is now empty! The card is turned over, it is the card that has been freely chosen before, and is no longer in the deck!

For example, if he has a 10, a 6, a 3, a 5 and an 8, the total is 32. However, the magician had emptied his pockets at the beginning of the trick, and had therefore placed some coins aside on the table. We add up the values of the coins, there are 32 cents... the same total as for the cards!
