SleightfulMagic Product Review - The Card That Matters by Rick Lax
In 'The Card That Matters' by Rick Lax, a spectator picks any card (except aces) from a poker hand in an envelope, only to discover it's the only one face up and from a different deck. Fiddlin' Johnny reviews this clever trick, praising its strong effect, ease of use, and suitability for close-up magic, while noting the minor limitation of not allowing aces to be chosen or cards to be handled afterward.
