The spectator can create any card, yet the performer is still able to predict it.
A packet of thirteen playing cards, containing every value and every suit, is shown to the spectator. By combining the value of one card with the suit of another, any card can be created.
The spectator rolls two dice and obtains a total that serves as a starting number - for example, 9. The performer deals nine cards and arrives at a first card - for example, the 2 of Hearts - whose suit the spectator remembers. The performer then deals two cards (the value of the first card) and arrives at a second card - for example, the Jack of Clubs - whose value the spectator now remembers. The two are combined to form the Jack of Hearts.
A prediction card is finally removed from an envelope that has been on the table from the beginning, but it is a Joker. The performer turns the Joker over and reveals, glued to its back, a miniature card: the Jack of Hearts.
Self-working. Fully examinable. Only one prediction.
