Allow your spectator to shuffle the deck and cut it in half. Then, he will give you one half, keeping the other half for himself. You then say: “We will each shuffle our cards to mix them thoroughly.” Each of you does this. You say: “We will each take out one card, look at it, and remember it.”
Then, you pull a card from the center of your half, pretend to look at it and put it on top of your pile (you don’t have to remember this card at all.) Actually, you will peek at your own bottom card, and remember it. Then, you tell your spectator to place his selected card on top of the pack.
After your spectator place his selected card on top of his pack, you add the cards in your hand to the top of his cards. This puts your card (bottom card that you already remembered) on top of his selected card. Ask him to cut the deck a few times in order to lose both cards in the deck (just cut the deck, don’t shuffle.)
You then say: “My card was the [name the bottom card you remembered]. What was yours?” After he names his card, you say: “I will now perform a bit of magic without touching the cards in your hand. I will send my card to meet yours. They are now together in the pack. Please look through the cards and verify that I have accomplished this amazing feat.”
Of course, when the spectator look in the deck, he will find his selected card next together with your card.
