UNBEATABLE Prediction Card Trick

Created by: MattMcGurk

The UNBEATABLE Prediction Card Trick is a self-working close-up card trick where the magician predicts a card that the spectator will choose after a series of random shuffles and deals. The trick involves placing a prediction card in the card box at the beginning, then the spectator shuffles and deals the cards in a completely random manner. Through clever forces (petal force and Balduchi force), the spectator is guided to select the predicted card (e.g., the 10 of Hearts), which matches the prediction perfectly. This trick is ideal for magicians looking for a strong, foolproof effect that requires no sleight of hand.
