Wallet Prediction
Card Trick
The Wallet Prediction Card Trick is a very simple impromptu card trick that packs just enough punch to illicit a great reaction out of a spectator or volunteer.
It is fun, easy, and will not require too much practice. The spectator deals out the cards face down one at a time until they feel they should stop. The rest of the cards are set to one side.
All you need to perform this trick is a deck of cards, one wallet and a business card on which you write down a prediction. The business card can be left so the volunteer knows who you are. It is self promotion at its best.
You then bring out your wallet and place it on top of the cards and you reveal a business card from the wallet...
On the card is a prediction of the card they will stop on. You then reveal the prediction matches the card they stopped on.
