Speedy Sandwich
Effect
The selected card magically becomes sandwiched between two jokers.
Performance
1. Extract the two jokers from the deck and let a spectator select a card. Bring it secretly to the bottom of the deck in your favorite manner. (One or two useful trick overhand shuffles can be found in the skills page).
2. Explain that you will make the jokers trap the chosen card right between them, and openly put one joker to the top and the other to the bottom of the deck, both face up.
3. Openly left-jog the bottom joker, saying the gag that her card IS really between the jokers.
4. Wait for response at the gag, then hold the deck with the right hand at the right side with the thumb on top and the fingers at the bottom. The middle finger should be in contact with the bottom joker, and the index finger should be in contact with selection, thanks to the left-jogged joker.
5. Now if you throw the deck into the left hand, thanks to the friction between your fingers and the cards, only the two face up jokers and the selection between them will remain in the right hand!!
The friction between the cards and the fingers can be improved by moistening your fingers. This improves the reliability of the card trick.
