Show off your magic skills with a little preparation and an easy trick to execute.
Take one whole deck and glue each card face to face so you have half a deck of double-backed cards.
Discard half of the other deck, leaving half a deck of regular cards and half a deck of double-sided cards.
Put the regular half on top of the double-sided half, and show the new deck to an audience. Split the deck into the two halves, placing the regular half face up next to the double-sided half on the table.
Fan the regular cards and have an audience member choose one.
Shuffle the two halves together; keeping the regular half face up so it will appear that the cards are mixed up front-to-back and back-to-front.
Make sure to keep one side of the double-sided cards hidden so as not to reveal the gimmick.
Have the audience member replace the card anywhere in the deck, face down. The regular cards are still facing up.
Shuffle the cards and then flip them around in your hands so that all the cards appear face-down. Fan the cards in front of the audience revealing the chosen card as the only card facing up.
