This is my adaptation of Marlo's A Number for Fast Company. I've reworked it to be completely impromptu, finishing with a clean, accurate cut to the spectator's selection.
The spectator shuffles the deck freely, chooses any card, and returns it before shuffling again. The performer then names the exact position of the selection and says, "If I know the position of your card, I should be able to cut straight to it." He then lifts off a packet - matching the number just named - and the final card of that packet is the spectator's selection.
Full performance in the demo video.

★★★★★ Date Added: Tuesday 18 November, 2025First of all, let me make clear that the explanation is subtitled as well as the demo. Not a real issue. The explanation and the method are pretty straightforward. (Unfortunately for me, it uses a technique I have some difficulty with - but that is MY problem!) A nice routine for impromptu situations - start clean, end clean. Recommended.
