A deck is shuffled and placed squared face down on the table. A spectator is invited to cut off a block of cards from the pack and to look at and remember the face card of the cut-away section.
The helper is now asked to cut his block of cards to lose the selection in the centre of the pile, and then he is requested to slip his pile somewhere into the middle of the cards still on the table, squaring the pack at the finish.
The magician has had no opportunity to catch even a glimpse of the chosen card, and in fact, the deck itself is put away in the box to preclude that possibility. Despite all this, and without fishing for any clues, the performer is able to name the selection!
