I doubt I'm the first to come up with this idea but I thought it up on the spot today while I was doing some card tricks and it worked out kinda nice.

I was just shuffling the cards and then asked a spectator to say stop while I was dribbling the cards just to bring a fresh card to the top. I told the spectator I could bring any card I wanted to the top of the deck. Now I got lucky when the spectator called out the 8D without prompting and I "wanted" the 10D. I was like well, 10 is my favorite number so I want the 10D. DL and turnover whatever card is second. I totally looked at it like I got it right, no doubt. The kid was confused. He's like no, it wasn't the 10D. I turn it face down and was like yeah it was. I gave him the card. He then turned it over, looked at it and was floored.

Simple, easy, and takes the heat off the marked deck. I don't know, but it worked for me.

I like it...
