Get the audience involved. Master Card Prediction is like a horse race, the audience knows what’s happening yet it’s completly mystifying how it ends. Two different endings are possible depending on weather you’re more magically or mentalist oriented. The audience helps in “Round Robbin” participation. This is fun and keeps the action moving.

Effect: A prediction, a regular pack of cards and a custom made display stand are shown. “You will mix the cards three times” states the magician. A volunteer genuinly shuffles a pack of Bicycle cards. Nine cards are individually dealt onto the display stand as volunteers individually call out colors (no forces). “The cards have been shuffled and dealt once. To further mix them, the cards will be redealt, as directed by volunteers”. The magician continues “We've shuffled and dealt the cards twice... let’s do it one more time.... You must admit, no one knows the identies of these cards. In a separate process all but one card will be removed.” Volunteers are asked to individually call out various colors and the cards on those colors are discarded (no tricky business or forces) until one card remains. The prediction is now opened and the only remaining card matches. The deck of cards is shown again and all the cards are different.
