A single card peeks out of the magician's wallet, untouched and in full view. The spectator makes a free choice, and yet, the impossible becomes reality. What happens next takes the surprise to another level, leaving everyone questioning how it could be done. "Single Minded" turns a simple card trick into an unforgettable mystery.
The magician places their wallet on the table, clearly opened. One playing card is sticking out of a compartment.
"This is the last one I have left; I only use imaginary decks now."
They then reach into their pocket and pull out an invisible deck, handing it to the spectator, who pretends to cut the deck.
"How many cards did you cut?" "Eighteen."
Without touching the wallet, which has remained open on the table the whole time, the magician takes out a small list and shows it to the spectator.
This list shows the position of every card in the imaginary deck. At the 18th position? The 3 of Diamonds.
The magician then removes the card that has been in the wallet the entire time.
First surprise: It’s the 3 of Diamonds!
Second surprise: When both cards are turned face down, they reveal the name of the chosen card!
