Sanded Deck Force
Preparation
Sand the corners off a deck of cards, just enough so it's clear to you which corner is sanded, but the audience can't tell it's sanded at all.
Performance
1. Get a volunteer to pick a card from the sanded deck.
2. Once they have looked at the card, instruct them to insert it into the deck with one of its short edges going into the long edge of the deck (forming a T shape).
3. You should then turn the card so that it lies the same way as the rest of the deck, whichever way the sanded corners do not line up.
4. You can now shuffle or cut the deck as you please, before pulling out the chosen card (it's corner will stick out from the sanded corner of the pack).
