Word Up is a mentalism trick where a spectator mentally selects a word from a card in the magician's wallet. As they think of the word, it vanishes from the front and appears on the back, leaving the spectator amazed. This is a close-up magic trick that's perfect for impromptu performances, especially since it can be carried in a wallet.
