I am very disappointed with this purchase. This was my first purchase from Dustin, and it’s a case of misleading advertising.
The effect as described in the ad copy is this:
Imagine this from your spectator's perspective. You are handed a deck of cards. You inspect it and shuffle the deck. When you are satisfied, the magician turns his back. You place the deck into a Crown Royal bag. You reach in, withdraw a single card from the middle and place it under your leg. The magician has not seen, touched, or asked a question. He turns to face you. He simply looks you in the eye and names your card: the Four of Spades.
However, in reality this is the effect (I am rewriting what the spectator actually experiences without exposing the method):
Imagine this from your spectator’s perspective. You are handed a deck of cards. You inspect it and shuffle the deck. When you are satisfied, the magician takes the deck from you and gives you a demo in regards to what he wants you to do. As part of this demo, the magician places the deck in a Crown Royal bag and takes the bag under the table, and after the demo, he brings the bag back out. The magician then removes the deck from the bag and gives it to you. The magician only now turns his back. You place the deck into the Crown Royal bag. You reach in, withdraw a single card from the middle and place it under your leg. The magician has not seen, touched, or asked a question. He turns to face you. He simply looks you in the eye and names your card: the Four of Spades.
It is not my place to expose the method here, but I think an accurate description is important so that people know exactly what they’re getting. If an accurate description - like my rewritten one above - had been provided, I wouldn’t have purchased the effect as I would’ve known how it was done. The only reason I purchased it is because an inaccurate description was provided with some very key moments missing.
The method isn’t bad, and it would definitely fool the vast majority of lay people. My only issue is the false advertising.
My Secret Coding for a Thought-of Card

Some great ideas in here. While I won’t use the exact code as explained in here, I was immediately able to create a variant code (based off of Biagio’s code) that works for me. That I will be using. And I wouldn’t have been able to do that if I didn’t learn Biagio’s code first. Highly recommended.
