#How by Magic

Effect: The magician shows a deck of cards, shuffles them and spreads them face down. One prediction card is placed aside or given to a spectator to hold.
"Let's IMAGINE, the cards are all shuffled, but each four of a kind are amongst each other, so here are the four aces for example, here the four queens, etc.! Can you imagine that?" the magician asks.
The spectator can imagine it and now he is asked to select a card, but to make it really fair, he is asked to call a NUMBER between (lets say) 10 and 40. ANY NUMBER is chosen and the magician openly, slowly and FAIRLY counts to the chosen number and removes the selected card as well as the 3 cards beside it as being an imaginary four of a kind!
The rest of the cards are placed aside but in full view. The magician asks if the spectator can imagine if those 4 selected cards are the Aces for example. The spectator can. He now selects one of these 4 and the remaining 3 cards are placed aside next to the deck.
Time for the big finish: one card is chosen at RANDOM. The card is turned over and an Ace of Hearts is shown! The prediction card is turned over to be a 100% match, the Ace of Hearts!
Trust us as we say: This IS a #how moment!
But... you now say, you have imagined that these were the four aces and as you say this, you turn over the 3 removed cards. They are BLANK, as they are removed from your mind, an imagination doesn't last long...
You now get the remaining of the deck and turn them over and show that EACH and EVERY card is a BLANK card!!! HOW, HOW, HOW...
Points to Remember:
- No deckswitch
- No rough/smooth deck
- No short/long deck
- ANY number is chosen
- Ends clean
- EASY TO DO!!
