One of my favorite plots in Card Mentalism is "Open Prediction". Many different scripts and presentations are possible with this classic from Paul Curry.
In this new method we follow this practical conditions:
Shuffled deck (even an incomplete one)
A card is named as "Open Prediction"
Cards are dealt face down in your open hand until the participant decides for one
That precise card is placed face down (no switches)
The other cards are dealt on top to show that the named card is not in there
The reversed card is shown to be the named one!
100% impromptu
No gimmicks
Very direct and simple, no difficult sleights
