WORKER OF THE YEAR 2016 - Wizard Product Review

A spectator is handed a recently shuffled deck of cards but told not to look at the faces and to place it face down onto a table. They cut it into two piles. They are then asked to think of a card, any card and not to tell anyone their choice. The cut is then completed. The magicians quickly looks at the cards and places a few on the top. The deck is then cut again and completed, The magicians quickly looks at the cards and places a few on the top. Then once again the deck is cut and completed. After some more presentation spectator is asked to deal the cards face down and to stop at anytime, free choice, ...at anytime. When the top card is turned over it is the selected card and when the deck is turned over the ENTIRE DECK IS BLANK!! and then past out for examination !! A real magician fooler.
