Masterpiece by Rick Lax

ONE CARD. That’s it.

You pull out a single card and ask your friend to name a number between one and ten. It’s truly a FREE CHOICE.

Then she decides on a suit.

You tear up the ONE card (that’s been in full view the whole time) and shown the torn pieces. They don’t match the card she named. The suit is wrong. The number is wrong. Everything’s wrong.

But what if it wasn’t?

You take one of the torn pieces and put it in her hand. (No switches—the WHOLE trick uses one card.) She makes a fist. And then, inside your friend’s hand, the card piece TRANSFORMS INTO THE NAMED CARD.

She gets to keep the torn piece as a souvenir of the impossible moment.
