They freely choose the card. They shuffle the deck. You find it behind your back. Is this next level sleight of hand? Is this something only a master can perform? Is this a pipe dream? No. This is the World’s Toughest Card Trick by Will Fern.

Here’s what happens:

A deck of cards is genuinely shuffled by the audience. The magician decides to ramp the difficulty up and perform the trick entirely behind their back. With the cards held behind their back, the magician has the spectator freely select a card. The audience member then places the card back in the deck and gives the deck a couple of shuffles. The magician retrieves the cards from the spectator, and while still holding them behind their back dramatically removes a card from the deck. Unfortunately, the magician has failed to find the selected card. When the magician turns back around, all it takes is a magical gesture for the card to transform into the selected card.

The best part about the trick is that it’s incredibly easy to do. Will Fern has used this trick to delight audiences all over the country and also to fool hundreds of magicians.
