Ok i have idea for a routine, it involves magic but the trick takes less than 2 minutes to learn.

Right, you have five playing cards on the table and make out some story about what each one means (similar to tarot cards), link the stories to an earlier discussion if possible.

The trick is you make her pick the card you want (the trick takes some explaining, but is super easy, i'll post it if anyone's interested). the 5 cards are shuffled laid out in line on the table , before you run the trick say something like, "i bet you'll pick the 10 of diamonds because etc" make her pick that card (i'll explain how if people are interested).

tell her to keep it. a while later talk about the trick again, say you did it on yourself, open you're wallet to reveal the same card, and perhaps number close on this, similar the the ripping paper in half method, but write you number on your card hand her the pen and swap cards.

just an idea, let me know what you think

I think the most important part of this routine was the part you excluded-- how to make her pick the desired card. Explain that part and it might make a bit more sense.

ok you have the 5 cards face-up tell your story about what each one means

Then put the card you want her pick and the bottom on the pile. so now you know where it is.


shuffle - this is the trick you want to make sure the card you want her to pick is on the top, normally i shuffle the cards one by one to make appear as if i'm shuffling.

once the desired card is on top, lay them on the table face down in any order but make sure you remember where "her" card is.

1. say Tap three cards, if she taps the desired card among the three take the other two away, push the three cards towards her slightly,

2. ask her to then tap 2 cards if she taps the desired card take the other one away.

3. then say tap one card if she taps the desired card say "oh i'm sorry keep your finger on it" take away the other card, and say turn it over.

the process is pretty much the same if she doesn't choose the desired card. when you say tap three cards and she doesn't tap the desired card take those 3 cards away.

then you're at step 3 (above)

if she doesn't tap the desired card last take it away.
