The Magician places the deck openly on the table. Everyone is asked to think of any card. And any number. No forces. The audience doubles down by making sure that they avoid commonly selected cards and numbers. They can change their mind as many times as they wish. Once everyone is satisfied that their choices were uninfluenced and fair, the magician slowly and clearly picks up the deck, eyes burning their every mico-movement. They begin dealing slowly and deliberately dealing cards, one by one until the number is reached... The magician turns the card over, and it is the exact card they were merely thinking of.
