A card chosen at random along the path virtually manages to find the real way to meet its twin.
This is an original card magic effect in which the magician, after showing and shuffling a deck of cards, hands it to a spectator who, after cutting and completing it, one or more times as desired, is ready to follow the magician's instructions. The latter asks him to turn over the first card and place next to it as many cards as its value. He will turn over the last one and repeat the process a second time, again based on the value of the card he turned over.
At that point, when the last card placed face down is turned over, it will reveal the card for which the magician must find the matching twin card (same value and suit) - with the cards face down, of course - and so the spectator returns the remaining cards to him.
The magician, relying solely on the three cards that were turned over earlier, will be able to find its Twin (and, in most cases, the other two "Shadow Twins", of same value and opposite suit, as well
