You need only the slightest sleight-of-hand to perform this impressive magic staple.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A deck of playing cards
Craft glue
A pen or marker
A wallet
A spectator

Step 1: Glue two cards

Glue the fronts of two cards together so the backs are showing. This is the trick card that you will put in your wallet.

Tip: Sneak it into someone else's wallet and then perform the trick for them to make it even more impressive.

Step 2: Shuffle

Shuffle and cut the deck several times. Fan the cards so the spectator can see them and have them pick any card they like.

Step 3: Sign the card

Sign the front of the card with your name or make any other marks with a pen or marker to clearly identify it as the chosen card.

Step 4: Replace in deck

Replace the card in the middle of the deck by sliding it into the front and making sure it slides out the back of the deck where you may discretely use your other hand to slide it on top of the deck.

Tip: Put all the fingers of one hand over the front of the deck, pretending to tuck in the card, while sliding it on top.

Step 5: Tap the deck

Place the deck in front of you and tap it with your finger, saying the card will now jump into the wallet. Take the trick card out of your wallet or theirs, and place the card on top of the deck.

Step 6: Reveal

Double-lift the trick card and the card beneath it and turn them over. The signed card will be revealed.

@NIKEISNICKY12345 They might see the colour/suit/number of the card in the wallet and realise that it isnt their card. If they doubleback it, you cant see what the card is ;)

[NIKEISNICKY12345]

Why is there a need for a doubleback?

[darkluigiman]

Damn, I remember a trick like this that a street magician performed on me in vegas when I was a kid. But instead, he had me sign my name or whatever I wanted on the card, and put it back in the deck. He then put the deck in his back pocket, and went to his front pocket. Took out his wallet, took an envelope out of his wallet, opened the envelope and gave it to me, where I pulled my card out. It was quite amazing to me when I was that young. It certainly left me thinking for a while xD
