EFFECT

A Card is selected by a spectator and placed back on top of the pack. The pack is then cut several times and handed back to the magician. A pile of cards suddenly falls off the pack leaving the magician holding the spectator card.

METHOD

When the card is selected the card on the bottom of the pack is crimped by the magicians pinky. The spectator card is then placed on the top of the pack and the pack is cut. This means that the spectator card is underneath the crimped card. The pack can be passed around the room to be cut several times and the spectator card will always be under the crimped card. The pack is then handed back to the magician who quietly puts his thumb under the crimped card appearing to be clumsy and allows the cards above his thumb to fall on the floor. The card under his thumb will be the spectator. The magician can also allow the rest of the cards to fall leaving only the spectator's card in his hand.
