My Mistake
1. Get a member of the audience to choose a card and return it to the deck.
2. Bring the card to second from the top using a double cut. To bring the card second from the top, you will need to obtain the finger break one card above the chosen one, rather than directly above it.
3. Tell the group something along the lines of: "I know this is going to be amazing, but please hold your applause. I'm going to reveal the chosen card, but it's important that you make no noise at all. Just marvel in silence so that we can all enjoy the enormous impact."
4. Perform a double lift showing the selected card, and name it.
5. Act as if something has gone wrong with the trick. Say something like: "I do apologise. I really don't miss that often. I don't have a clue what went wrong".
6. Return the double card to the top of the deck and slide the top card into the middle of the deck.
7. "Hold on, maybe I can work something out." Ask the volunteer to tell you the name of their card.
8. They will tell you and the audience will be happy to inform you that you have just returned the chosen card to the middle of the deck. Of course, you haven't-it's still on top of the pack.
9. "That's all right. Maybe I can work something out."
10. Tap the top card and turn it over for all to see.
