Effect

The Table Under routine with the Infinity Deck creates a strong moment of mystery. A spectator cuts the deck under the table, removes the top and bottom cards, and places the deck back in the box. Without seeing the cards, the magician correctly identifies the two selections. The effect is direct and baffling, as the spectator makes all the choices freely.
