This special deck has 26 normal length cards and 26 slightly shorter cards. The short cards are your force cards. For example, “Jack of Spades” or “Ace of Diamonds.” The first thing you need to do is mix the regular length cards with the shorter cards every other card; evenly mixed.

    

Hold the deck with your middle finger and thumb on the short end of the deck, with your index finger on top. Lift the deck up, so the faces are towards your spectator, let the cards fall by pushing with your index finger into your other hand. This will only show the regular faced cards. Flip the deck around, so the backs are towards your spectator, let the cards fall once again, and now only your force card will show.

            

With the cards face down, let them fall from one hand to the other and have your spectator stop you at any time. Have your spectator take the top card from the lower half, look at it, and return it to the deck. Note: This will always be your force card. Square up the deck and hold it as explained in the handling, and show that your spectator’s card has magically disappeared from the deck by showing all the regular faced cards. Flip the deck around and show that you magically changed the entire deck to be their chosen card.
