A medal is displayed in full view throughout the performance. It can be worn around your neck, the spectator's neck, laid on the table or even kept inside a box. A card is freely selected from the deck. It can be chosen by taking a card, looking at a card from a face-up spread, cutting the deck, counting down to a card... whatever way you prefer. The reverse side of The Medal is now shown to be engraved with the selected card. It is really engraved (no semantics).
