The Impossible Effect: 'Only 52'
Imagine this: multiple spectators shuffle packets of your deck. Another spectator secretly thinks of any number between one and fifty-two, then counts to that position in the gathered deck, remembering their card. Meanwhile, from a *borrowed* deck, another spectator secretly turns any card face up under a table. Both decks are cut. The first spectator names their thought-of card. Unbelievably, your deck is found to contain only fifty-one cards – their chosen card is completely missing! The borrowed deck is spread, revealing just one face-up card: the *exact* card the first spectator named. This routine isn't just baffling; it's an absolute reputation maker.

The What
The magician’s deck of cards is handed out in packets to multiple spectators who thoroughly shuffle the deck. While this happens, another spectator is asked to think of any number between one and fifty-two. The deck is gathered together and handed to the spectator thinking of a number; they count to the position of the number they are thinking of and remember that card. A second deck is borrowed from a spectator and shuffled. A spectator takes this borrowed deck under the table, and any card they want is turned face up and lost back in the deck. Both decks are cut. The first spectator names their card, and the magician’s deck is meticulously counted through and discovered only to have 51 cards. The borrowed deck is spread, and the only face-up card in the deck is the named card. Even more impossibly, it is discovered that the card is missing from the magician’s deck.
