Craig Browning, how does he do this card trick?

[Scepcop]

Do you know?

Hahaha... his handling and presentation is quite cool but it's one of the oldest tricks in the book. You simply don't recognize it because he's thrown in the blindfold... watch closely at how he picks up the "random" card after cutting the deck and what he does when he replaces the card and completes the cut... even though he does a mix, he's able to keep track of a block of the cards, which is all he needs to do in that he knows a couple of things... I'll just say, he knows what the random card is (or should, if what I saw was right).

Truthfully, I'm not a card guy... I actually avoid the things as much as I can. Nonetheless, most card magic is done with a standard deck, no gimmicks or markings whatsoever; it's just talent & skills.

I don't get what you mean. I watched it again but didn't see anything unusual about the blindfold. He isn't touching the cards when he is putting on and taking off the blindfold.

if I could find an IM system on this board I could help you out, but I won't post things on line for all to see.

I am pretty sure I see what he did. If I am right, it is extremely simple and anyone can do it.

I don't want to spoil the fun so I will PM you Craig and you can tell me if I got it right.
