Jay Sankey's Magnet Card Effect: A card randomly chosen by the spectator

from the middle of the deck

suddenly jumps to the second card in the deck, under the magnet card on
top of the deck. This is done
twice, but on the third time the card with the magnet on back suddenly
becomes the spectators chosen card.

Preperation: Sharpie Ability to do Topper Tact Ability to do Vernon's

Depth Illusion aka Tilt. Ability
to do Double lift.

Method: Take the Sharpie and draw a 'U' shaped magnet on the back of the
top card.Preform a double lift
and lift the card up so the back is close to your mouth. Blow on the ink
and casually act like your drying
it off. This is a simple way of showing the spectator what the magnet
card is suppose to be, without
blurting it out and announcing it.
Place the double back on the top of the deck. Now spread the deck
like asking a spectator to choose a card.
Tell them when to say stop.
Once they do out jog a card
from the middle.
Preform Topper Tact.

(If you don't know what that is I'll explain it here- With the card
out jogged you use your thumb to push up the top card on the deck while
pushing the random middle card back
into the deck with your fingers.
This is all done while you turn the deck over.
So to the spectator it looks
like the chosen card is the one flashed to them.

Let them register what card it is, but don't hold it up long
enough to discover that it's the top card, or now the bottom card in
your hand.)

Now hold the deck with two

hands placing your thumbs over the middle.
Bend the cards down with your thumbs, then bend them upwards with
your fingers. This should cause a snap like sound.
Now take the first two cards off deck. The magnet card
will be on top with the other card on bottom.
Now As you turn your hand over you need to pull the bottom card
back with your fingers and push the top card ( or magnet card ) forward
so that when your hand is turned over
it looks like the face of the magnet card is under the indifferent card.
Now just do the reverse when you bring
your hand back into normal position.
Now place the magnet card on top of the deck, keeping the indifferent
card.
Now preform the Tilt.
Now go through the process of snaping the cards and doing the two card
switch. Place
the magnet card back on top of the deck again keeping the indifferent
card. Now you retro-actively sell the
tilt by putting the indifferent card in the middle of the deck, from the
front.
Now snap the deck a third time
removing the magnet card showing that the face magically has become the
indifferent card, yet the magnet marking
has been in view of the spectator the entire time.

Notes: This trick is relatively simple, but it packs a punch. I've

really amazed some people with this trick.
