This is my go-to effect. Once you have done this effect, the spectator will believe you can read their facial expressions and more.
If you are looking to: build rapport with spectator(s), learn a memorized deck, and perform jazz-type magic this effect is your incentive.
I have gotten more incredible responses from this effect than any other. The method looks extremely fair. The only sleight, if you call this a sleight, is riffling cards off of your index finger. Learning this effect will make your magic better.
Note: You will need to know any memorized deck perfectly.
